Hi Marcia, New York is made up of 5 boroughs. The borough of Manhattan is New York County. The borough of the Bronx is Bronx County, the borough of Brooklyn is Kings County, the borough of Queens is Queens County, and Staten Island is the borough and county of Richmond. Therefore, 3222 Bronx Blvd, Bronx NY would be in Bronx County. Do that make it clearer?
