Jacquie, Long Island is really 4 counties, but none of them is Richmond. Richmond is Staten Island (part of New York City). Long Island is made up of Queens Co., Kings Co. (which is Brooklyn), both part of New York City, and then Nassau County and Suffolk County, east of the City limits. Long Island is 118 miles long from the NY City part at the west to the twin forks at the east: plenty of territory for lots of communities.
