  Staten Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Staten Island is one of the five boroughs of New York City, located on an island of the same name on the west side of the Narrows at the entrance of New York Harbor.
Staten Island is separated from Long Island by the Narrows and from mainland New Jersey by the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull.
The island was probably abandoned later, possibly because of the extinction of large mammals on the island.

 Port Richmond, Staten Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Port Richmond is a neighborhood situated on the North Shore of Staten Island, one of the five boroughs of New York City, USA.
It is along the waterfront of the Kill Van Kull, with the southern terminus of the Bayonne Bridge serving as the boundary between it and Mariners Harbor, the neighborhood which borders it on the west.
In the 19th century it was an important transportation and industrial center of the island, but this role has vanished nearly completely, leaving a largely blue collar residential area bypassed by the shift of development of the island to its interior after the 1960s.
