No, Staten Island (officially known as Richmond County) is part of New York City. It is one of the five boroughs of New York City: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.

The five boroughs consolidated into one city -- New York City -- in 1898.

Yes, Staten Island is larger than Brooklyn. Staten Island has a total area of 102.5 square miles (265.5 square kilometers) while Brooklyn has a total area of 96.9 square miles (251 square kilometers).

Staten Island is 102.5 square miles in total, of which 58.5 square miles (151.5 square kilometers) is land, and 44.0 square miles (114 square kilometers) is water.

Brooklyn is 96.9 square miles in total, of which 70.6 square miles (182.9 square kilometers) is land, and 26.3 square miles (68.1 square kilometers) is water.

So, although Staten Island has a larger total area, Brooklyn has more land mass than Staten Island. So some websites (such as the Wikipedia entry for New York City) list Brooklyn as the second-largest borough and Staten Island as the third-largest.

But by total area Staten Island is larger.
