Brooklyn was a city until incorporated into NYC. Now, NYC consisted of Kings County (Borough of Brooklyn), The (and don't forget to use the "The") Bronx (Bronx County) Borough of Queens ( Queens County), Staten Island (Richmond County) Borough of Manhattan (New York County.) Each county is also a borough. Vince P.S. Brooklyn is separated from Manhattan by the East River and connected thereto by the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge.
