  New York Subway
At the outset of this era, New York County (Manhattan Island and part of the Bronx), Kings County (including the Cities of Brooklyn and Williamsburg) and Queens County were separate political entities.
In 1898, New York, Kings and Richmond Counties, and parts of Queens and Westchester Counties and their constituent cities, towns, villages and hamlets were consolidated into the City of Greater New York.
The three systems were unified and then operated by the City of New York through its Board of Transportation in 1940, which was succeeded in 1953 by the New York City Transit Authority, a state agency incorporated for the benefit of the city, now known to the public as MTA New York City Transit.
