There are five boroughs in New York - Manhattan, The Bronx, Staten Island, Queens, and Brooklyn. I am not certain as to why the city was divided into these areas. They were separated into 5 boroughs because they were each separate pieces of land that were owned by different people. They weren't part of New York City, only New York State, originally. The consolidation of the five boroughs into "Greater New York" in 1898 was a very early example of regional planning. The contiguous counties of New York, Richmond (Staten Island), Brooklyn and The Bronx (an annexed portion of then Westcheter County and Queens County (not all of the county wanted to join the consolidation and formed Nassau County while the remainder of the county joined the city.

∙ 6y agoThe five boroughs of New York City are Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. All areas of New York State have county names, but New York City also has borough (boro) names for its five counties. Two of the borough names are the same as the county names and three are different. Virtually everybody uses the borough names. The county names are just used for legal and government purposes. Below I have listed the names of the five boroughs, together with their county names for easy reference.
Borough Name--------County Name
Manhattan----------------New York City
Brooklyn-------------------Kings
Staten Island-------------Richmond
The Bronx------------------Bronx
Queens--------------------Queens
Northwest of Brooklyn and Queens is Manhattan, which is often referred to as "the city." Harlem is a part of Manhattan and is not a borough; it is a neighborhood. North of Manhattan is the Bronx. And then the least populated borough, southwest of Manhattan, west of Brooklyn and Queens is Staten Island. Staten Island and Manhattan are both their own islands. The Bronx is the only borough on mainland New York. Brooklyn has the most people, and Queens is the biggest borough in land area.
