For other places with the same name, see Long Island (disambiguation). Long Island is an island stretching eastward from New York City in the Metro New York region. The largely suburban area is approximately 115 miles long from Brooklyn and Queens at the western end, to Montauk at the easternmost point. At its widest the island is approximately 20 miles from north to south. While Long Island geographically includes Brooklyn and Queens, politically Long Island in general only includes Nassau County and Suffolk County of New York State only.
However, many people in the New York metropolitan area (even those living in Queens and Brooklyn) colloquially use the term Long Island (or The Island) exclusively to refer to the Nassau-Suffolk county area collectively, which is mainly suburban in character.ong Island is home to some of the wealthiest communities in the United States, including The Hamptons, on the East End of the South Shore of Suffolk County; the Gold Coast, in the vicinity of the island's North Shore, along Long Island Sound; and increasingly, the western shoreline of Brooklyn, facing Manhattan.
