City of Greater New York
Consolidation of New York City in 1898
City of Greater New York
The City of Greater New York was a ceremonial name used during the consolidation of the City of New York with Brooklyn, western Queens County, and Staten Island, which took effect on January 1, 1898. New York had already annexed the Bronx (west of the Bronx River in 1874, east of the Bronx River in 1895), so the consolidated city sprawled across five counties of New York State, which became the five Boroughs of modern New York. Eastern Queens County was excluded and later became Nassau County.
