Staten Island: The Ferry Borough
Staten Island is the southernmost and least populated of New York City's five boroughs, with about 470,000 residents on 58 square miles. It is coterminous with Richmond County. The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, opened in 1964, connects the borough to Brooklyn across the entrance of New York Harbor. The free Staten Island Ferry runs between St. George on the north shore and the Whitehall Terminal in lower Manhattan.
The borough remained largely rural into the mid-twentieth century. Construction of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge triggered a wave of residential development, and the population more than doubled between 1960 and 1990. Fresh Kills Landfill, once the largest landfill in the world, closed in 2001 and is being converted into a 2,200-acre park three times the size of Central Park.
Historic Richmond Town preserves a collection of buildings dating from the 17th through 19th centuries, documenting the rural heritage of the island before consolidation with New York City in 1898. The Staten Island Zoo, the Snug Harbor Cultural Center, and the Staten Island Museum each draw on different strands of the borough's history.
