The Borough of Staten Island is coterminous with Richmond County, *the southernmost county in the state of New York. Until 1975 the borough was officially named the Borough of Richmond.
With a population of just over 460,000, Staten Island is often called 'the forgotten borough' or 'the step-sister borough', as it is much less well-known than its four sisters, The Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. It is the smallest of the 5 boroughs in population, and third largest in area, being 59 sq. mi. (approx. 153 km²).
By far the least populated, most ethnically homogeneous and most remote borough of New York City, Staten Island is primarily suburban. Much of the central and southern sections of the island were once dominated by dairy and poultry farms, some of which were still in existence as recently as the early 1960s. Some areas have an urban feel comparable to the areas of Eastern Queens and Northern Bronx. The borough's steady rise in population since the opening of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge has added to a sharp increase in traffic that plagues the island and is a cause of frequent road repairs.
