Staten Island

Situated on a island of the same name, Staten is the least populated and often felt as the forgotten borough by natives. The North Shore, especially the neighborhoods of St. George, Tompkinsville, Park Hill, and Stapleton, is the most urban part of the island. The South Shore has more suburban-style residential neighborhoods and is home to the two and one-half mile long F.D.R. Boardwalk and , the central and southern sections of the island were once dominated by dairy and poultry farms. The Staten Island Ferry and Railway are housed in St George, two of the primary transportations outside of the world’s largest suspension bridge, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
