About Staten Island, New York

Staten Island, coextensive with Richmond County, is the southernmost of the five boroughs and counties in New York City, New York, United States. As in much of North America, human habitation appeared on the island fairly rapidly after the Wisconsin glaciation. Archaeologists have recovered tool evidence of Clovis culture activity dating from about 14,000 years ago. Artists and musicians have been moving to Staten Island's North Shore to be close to Manhattan while having affordable space to live and work. (Wikipedia)
