In what size order do the boroughs of New York City go?

Queens is the largest, followed by Staten Island, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Manhattan is the smallest. Sometimes Brooklyn is listed as the second-largest borough and Staten Island the third-largest. This is because, while Staten Island has a greater total area than Brooklyn, it has a lot more square miles/kilometers of water, so its land area is smaller than that of Brooklyn. But by total area Staten Island is the second-largest.

Queens is the largest borough, followed by Staten Island, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Manhattan is the smallest.

That is because the land area of Brooklyn -- minus bodies of water -- is larger than the land area of Staten Island, minus bodies of water.
