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.
By JOHN BURBIDGE. IN the never-ending debate over whether size matters, enter two unlikely contestants from opposite sides of the country: Long Island, 118 miles long, and Whidbey Island, in Washington, a mere 45 miles long. At stake are bragging rights to being the longest island in the contiguous United States. Some Long Islanders, of course, may not know Whidbey Island exists. Whidbey Islanders, on the other hand, are agonizingly aware of Long Island and are jumping up and down to get its attention.
