Geographically speaking, yes. The actual geographic landmass that is Long Island consists of Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties. Brooklyn and Queens, though, are also boroughs in New York City, which leads many people to think of "Long Island" as being just Nassau and Suffolk. If you say you're going to "Long Island", people generally assume you mean Nassau or Suffolk because Brooklyn and Queens are part of "the city". It's a little confusing if you're not from the area. Hope this helps.

Are Queens and Brooklyn on Long Island?
Yes, the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are both on Long Island. Brooklyn and Queens (which are also Kings County and Queens County, respectively) occupy the western end of Long Island. Kings County (aka the borough of Brooklyn) is the westernmost county on Long Island, and Queens County (aka the borough of Queens) is the second-westernmost. Queens lies on top of and somewhat east of Brooklyn, as if it just tried to sit down on Brooklyn too hard, and is now slipping off the right side of it. The remaining, eastern portion of Long Island is occupied by Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which are part of New York State, but not part of New York City as Brooklyn and Queens are. Suffolk County is the easternmost county on Long Island, and at 912 square miles, it is also the largest, taking up 65% of Long Island's total land area (which is 1401 square miles).

The island is divided into four counties: Kings County, Queens County, Nassau County and Suffolk County. Two of these counties -- Kings and Queens -- are also boroughs of New York City. The five boroughs of New York City are Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island.

The boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens (Kings County and Queens County) are located on the western end of Long Island. The remainder of Long Island consists of the two other counties (Nassau County and Suffolk County) which are part of New York State, but NOT part of New York City.

I have lived in New York City all my life, and I never knew that Brooklyn and Queens were considered part of Long Island until last week.In truth, "Long Island" is just a geographical name for the WHOLE island, including Brooklyn and Queens. Nassau County and Suffolk County are the proper (political) names for the part of Long Island that is outside the New York City limits.See the Related Link below for a New York City subway map. The map shows you all of the five boroughs, except Staten Island. You can see Staten Island at the bottom left corner of the map, but the entire island is not shown, since the subway doesn't go there. The eastern part of Long Island is also not on the map, but Brooklyn and Queens are, and they are clearly labeled.
