Staten Island neighborhoods are rich in history. Some are named for notable people who lived in the community, some were place names handed down from the Lenape, Indians who were the first known inhabitants and some were provided by the French Huguenots who settled on the south shore.

Most Staten Island streets are named instead of numbered, a stark contrast to New York City’s other four boroughs where a visitor can locate an address according to where it falls between streets. This is the reason why residents will give visitors their address along with whichever one of the many Staten Island neighborhoods it falls within.
