What are the counties in long island?

Where is the Nassau county located?
Nassau County is on Long Island. Long Island is divided into four counties. Two of them -- Kings and Queens Counties -- are also boroughs of New York City (Brooklyn and Queens, respectively). The other two -- Nassau and Suffolk Counties -- are part of New York State, but not part of New York City. Brooklyn and Queens (Kings and Queens Counties) are on the western end of Long Island, and Suffolk County takes up the entire eastern half (it is by far the largest of the four counties). Nassau County is sandwiched between Brooklyn and Queens and Suffolk County.
Is Queens and Brooklyn part of Long Island in New York State?
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.
Is Nassau county part of NYC?
No. The five boroughs of New York City are Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island. Each borough is also a county: Manhattan is New York County, Brooklyn is Kings County, Queens is Queens County, The Bronx is Bronx County and Staten Island is Richmond County. Brooklyn and Queens -- Kings and Queens Counties -- are on Long Island, along with Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Nassau County and Suffolk County are part of New York State, but not part of New York City. Long Island is not only New York State's largest island, but the continental United States's largest island.
Do Brooklyn and Queens connect?
Yes. Brooklyn and Queens are part of Long Island, at the western edge of it. Queens is directly above Brooklyn. If you continue north in Brooklyn, you'll end up in Queens, and if you continue heading east from Queens/Brooklyn, you will end up on the rest of Long Island (Nassau & Suffolk Counties).
Is New York City a long city?
No, Long Island is not a city, or a county, or a borough. Long Island is a geographical expression that has no meaning in state government. That is to say, the term, "Long Island," is an unofficial name that collectively describes the entire island and all the towns, cities and counties that are on it. In other words, Long Island is nothing more than an island. Long Island is made up of 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 borough of Brooklyn is also Kings County, and the borough of Queens is also Queens County. The other two counties -- Nassau and Suffolk -- are part of New York State, but not part of New York City. However, the term, "Long Island," is often used colloquially to describe only the part of Long Island that is not part of New York City (Nassau and Suffolk County). Even though Brooklyn and Queens (Kings and Queens Counties) are on Long Island, people -- especially New Yorkers -- often say, "I'm going to Long Island this weekend," when they really mean, "I'm going to somewhere on either Nassau or Suffolk County." If they were going to Brooklyn or Queens, then they'd say, "I'm going to Brooklyn/Queens," not, "I'm going to Long Island."
