"The history of New York City has to be studied as
a whole. In
New York City, a borough is a unique
form of government used to administer the five
constituent
counties that make up the city. New York City
is often referred to collectively as The Five
Boroughs; this phrase is used to unambiguously
refer to New York City as a whole, no less and no
more. Each borough corresponds to, and is
effectively equivalent to, a county of
New York State:
The Bronx (Bronx County) ,
Brooklyn (Kings County) ,
Manhattan (New York County),
Queens (Queens County),
Staten Island (Richmond County) "
