The states of the U.S. are divided into counties, not provinces. Embarrassing as it is to reveal my own ignorance, I'm not entirely sure what a province is, and how it is different from a county or state. I'm also not sure whether you are asking about New York State or New York City.New York City has five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island. Each borough is also a county. Manhattan is named New York County, Brooklyn is Kings County, Staten Island is Richmond County, and the other two have the same names (Queens County and The Bronx County). So, New York City has five counties.Trivia: Brooklyn (Kings County) is not just the most populous borough/county of New York City, but also the most populous county in the entire United States!New York State has 62 counties, including the five boroughs/counties of New York City.
