		Indeed, much of the central and southern sections of the island was once dominated by farms, primarily dairy and poultry farms, some of which were still in existence as recently as the early 1960s.
		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 bedrock of the island is a diabase sill formed during the volcanic eruptions that created much of the bedrock of northern New Jersey, including the New Jersey Palisades, approximately 200 million years ago.
		The island was probably abandoned later, possibly because of the extinction of large mammals on the island.
