Staten Island /ˌstætənˈaɪlənd/ is one of the five boroughs (counties) of New York City, in the state of New York, in the United States. In the southwest of the city, Staten Island is the southernmost part of both the city and state of New York, with Conference House Park at the southern tip of the island and the state. The borough is separated from New Jersey by the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull, and from the rest of New York by New York Bay. With a 2014 Census-estimated population of 473,279, Staten Island is the least populated of the boroughs but is the third-largest in area at 58sqmi (150km2).
The borough is coextensive with Richmond County, and until 1975 was officially the Borough of Richmond. Its flag was later changed to reflect this, though the official seal remains unchanged. Staten Island has been sometimes called "the forgotten borough" by inhabitants who feel neglected by the city government.
The North Shore — especially the neighborhoods of St. George, Tompkinsville, Clifton, and Stapleton — is the most urban part of the island; it contains the officially designated St. George Historic District and the St. Paul’s Avenue-Stapleton Heights Historic District, which feature large Victorian houses. The East Shore is home to the 2.5-mile (4km)F.D.R. Boardwalk, the fourth-longest in the world. The South Shore, site of the 17th-century Dutch and French Huguenot settlement of developed rapidly beginning in the 1960s and 1970s; it is mostly suburban in character. The West Shore is the least populated and most industrial part of the island.
Staten Island (also titled Little New York ) is a 2009 crime film written and directed by James DeMonaco in his directorial debut. It starred Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Seymour Cassel as three Staten Islanders whose lives intersected through a crime. Following a very limited theatrical run in New York, it was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in December 2009.
Plot
A Staten Island mob boss Parmie (D'Onofrio) was robbed by a septic tank cleaner Sully (Hawke) who had a pal Jasper (Cassel), a deaf deli employee moonlighting as a corpse chopper for Parmie.
The film received mixed to average reviews from critics.The New York Times critic praised the director DeMonaco for "adroitly weaving violence, absurdity and sentiment, even an environmental consciousness, into a modest, appealing fable", while the reviewer of The New York Daily News blamed him for "wasting a strong cast in silly roles".
Isla de los Estados (English: Staten Island, from the Dutch Stateneiland) is an Argentine island that lies 29 kilometres (18mi) off the eastern extremity of the Argentine portion of Tierra del Fuego, from which it is separated by the Le Maire Strait. It was named after the Netherlands States-General, and its original Dutch name was identical to that of the New York borough of Staten Island.
The island is administratively part of the Argentinian province of Tierra del Fuego, and of the department and city of Ushuaia. It has been declared an "Ecological, Historic, and Tourist Provincial Reserve" ("Reserva provincial ecológica, histórica y turística"), with access limited to tours from Ushuaia.
The only settlement is the Puerto Parry Naval Station, located in a deep and narrow fjord on the northern coast of the island. The naval station, established in 1978, is manned by a team of four marines on a 45-day rotation. They monitor environmental conservation and ship movements, and provide emergency assistance.

The Beauty of Staten Island Nature Preserve
The San Joaquin - Sacramento Delta has a rich history. The
Delta farms were created by building levees and creating fertile agricultural land. The loss of wetlands (throughout California) had the unintended consequence of having a negative affect on the Pacific Flyway. The restoration work by the Nature Conservancy, on Staten Island, shows how enlightened farming can help keep both our precious wildlife and vital farmland healthy.

We sailed our ship down the Hudson River To the wild Atlantic we said farewell On Staten Island when we landed There we had our tale to tell We're the poor, the huddled masses We have crossed the lonely sea Left the Old World for the New World Left the old ways to be free We left our homes in forty-seven Turned our backs against the wind From our ships of creakin' timber We bid farewell to a famished land We're the poor, the huddled masses We have crossed the lonely sea Left the Old World for the New World Left the old ways to be free With heavy hearts we left behind us Memories of better days Old men talkin', laughin' As we danced the night away We're the poor, the huddled masses We have crossed the lonely sea Left the Old World for the New World Left the old ways to be free Still we hear their voices calling On the wind we hear their sound Friends and loved ones, old and young ones Lie beneath the fallen mound We're the poor, the huddled masses We have crossed the lonely sea Left the Old World for the New World Left the old ways to be free Now those years are far behind us Now our spirits have grown strong In this land that gave us freedom And the will to carry on We're the poor, the huddled masses We have crossed the lonely sea Left the Old World for the New World Left the old ways to be free We're the poor, the huddled masses We have crossed the lonely sea Left the Old World for the New World
