Manhattan
Background
The Borough of Manhattan, coterminous with New York County, is geographically the smallest of the five boroughs of New York City. Although its population is only third largest of the five boroughs (after Brooklyn and Queens), it is the most densely populated county in the United States. The Island of Manhattan is the largest section of the borough (and county), which also includes numerous smaller islands, and a small section of the North American mainland. Manhattan is the borough that many tourists most closely associate with New York City.
