CITY OF NEW YORK
Five Boroughs Consolidated in 1898
New York was first Settled in 1624
New York City is composed of five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Each borough is coextensive with a respective county of New York State, making New York City one of the U.S. municipalities in multiple counties.
The boroughs of Queens and the Bronx are also Queens County and Bronx County. The other three counties are named differently from their boroughs: Manhattan is New York County, Brooklyn is Kings County, and Staten Island is Richmond County.
New York City was originally confined to Manhattan Island and the smaller surrounding islands that formed New York County. As the city grew northward, it began annexing areas on the mainland, absorbing territory from Westchester County into New York County in 1874 (West Bronx) and 1895 (East Bronx).
During the 1898 consolidation, this territory was organized as the Borough of the Bronx, though still part of New York County. In 1914, Bronx County was split off from New York County so that each borough was then coterminous with a county.
The City of New York, local residents, and local businesses are rolling out the “Welcome to New York City” and the genuine “You’re Welcome Here!” New York City welcome mats to visitors, local entrepreneurs, new startups, online sales, business founders, new residents, new contributors, and more value-added local New York City businesses.
New York City encourages its residents to become inventors and creators of startups in retail, music, beauty, healthcare, legal, law, and legal services. New York’s economic growth and prosperity in these areas has had a unifying effect on city residents and businesses.
Medical support, news, media services, information technology (IT), food services, online sales, education technology, and senior care have become invaluable in the development of New York City’s local business ecosystem.
