Long Island

Long Island is a densely populated island off the East Coast of the United States, beginning at New York Harbor just 0.35 miles (0.56 km) from Manhattan Island and extending eastward into the Atlantic Ocean. The island comprises four counties in the U.S. state of New York: Kings and Queens counties (which comprise the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, respectively) in the west, and Nassau and Suffolk counties in the east. The majority of New York City residents now live on Long Island. However, many people in the New York metropolitan area (including those in Brooklyn and Queens) colloquially use the term ``Long Island'' to refer exclusively to Nassau and Suffolk counties, which are mainly suburban in character.
