Not by itself. Congress also has to agree to this Constitutional version of " Split and Merge". Article 4 of the US Constitution provides that Congress may admit new states into the Union, but that no new state may be made within the jurisdiction of any other state without the consent of that state's legislature and of Congress. The New York legislature would vote to split from the rest of New York state, then Congress would vote to allow it to merge with the rest of the Union. It is not a simple "Recategorizing" of Long Island by the New York legislature as a separate state. One could argue that Long Island is not "within" the jurisdiction of New York state because part of it is coastline and not within New York, but this is not the way Article 4 is interpreted. Long Island is within the jurisdiction of New York because it is part of New York now. Ironically, Long Island is sometimes referred to as the 51st state, because when you ask any Long Islanders where they are from and they will say "Long Island". They won't say "New York".
The rockaway indians settled in New York. The information I found says they settled near, what is now known as, "Long Island" New York sometime during the seventeenth century.

The New Amsterdam is basically the current location of New York City. The Dutch purchased the island of Manhattan from the Native Tribes. Soon after, the British saw the value of this city and the land north of it. They ousted the Dutch and renamed the city and territory New York.

New York State. The Battle of Brooklyn Heights, also known as the Battle of Long Island, was fought in Brooklyn. The New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are located on the western end of Long Island (the remainder of Long Island is part of New York State, but not part of New York City). Specifically, the battle was fought in what is now the Brooklyn neighborhood of Gowanus, which is a little bit south of the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. After the battle, the American troops fled to Brooklyn Heights. The British planned a siege, but the troops evacuated before it could happen.
Brooklyn (named after the Dutch town Breukelen) is one of the five boroughs of New York City, located at the western end of Long Island. An independent city until its consolidation with New York in 1898, Brooklyn is New York City's most populous borough, with 2.5 million residents,[1] and second largest in area.If the borough were a separate city, it would be the fourth-largest city in the United States. Since 1896, Brooklyn has had the same boundaries as Kings County, which is now the most populous county in New York State, and the second most densely populated county in the United States, after New York County (Manhattan).[2][3]Though a part of New York City, Brooklyn maintains a distinct culture, independent art scene, and unique architectural heritage. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves where particular ethnic groups and cultures predominate.See the Related Link below for the Wikipedia entry.
