During the late 1800’s, Staten Island began its life as a borough of New York City with a heavy and almost sole purpose in agriculture. Through the decline of farming on the Staten Island, the borough transitioned into the suburban borough. To date, the borough offers suburban life with New York City lines, distinguishing itself from the other NYC boroughs. Whether it was through farmer life or suburban life, Staten Island has always had its family-oriented neighborhoods, many of which remain between the North and South shore.
