Staten Island, a hidden gem in the bustling city of New York. This picturesque island has a rich history that dates back centuries. As depicted in the 1906 color engraving map, Staten Island is nestled among its neighboring areas of Brooklyn and New York City. During the American Revolution, Staten Island played a significant role as shown in the wood engraving from 1852. The plan illustrates the positions of both British and American armies on this strategic island on August 27, 1776. The Port of New York offers a breathtaking view from Battery Park, looking south towards Staten Island. The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge connects this enchanting island with Brooklyn, providing easy access for residents and visitors alike.
