Staten Island is one of the five boroughs of New York City. It is coterminous with Richmond County, the southernmost county of New York State. Due to its distance from the others boroughs of the city, Staten Island is both the least populated area of New York, with a population of 443,728 according to the 2000 census, and the least well-known, which explains its nickname of "forgotten borough", although it has been part of the city since 1683.
