what county is new york, new york in?
New York City is not in any one county. It is the opposite, in fact: the counties are in New York City. New York City is comprised of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island. Each borough is also a county: Manhattan is New York County; Brooklyn is Kings County; Queens is Queens County; the Bronx is Bronx County, and Staten Island is Richmond County.
