New York City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Prior to 1898, New York City consisted of Manhattan and the Bronx, which was annexed by the city from southern Westchester County in two separate actions: the western portion in 1874, and the remaining portion in 1895. |
 | | Through the boroughs, there are hundreds of neighborhoods in the city, many with a definable history and character all their own. |
 | | Upper New York Bay is surrounded by Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the coast of New Jersey, and is connected by the Narrows between Brooklyn and Staten Island to Lower New York Bay, which is partially surrounded by Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the coast of New Jersey, and is open to the Atlantic Ocean. |
