With a population of 19 million in the three-state metropolitan area (and 8,140,000 in the city as in 2005), it is the most populous urban area in the [[United States]]. The city is divided into five different counties, called boroughs.  Manhattan is the financial, commercial, and tourist center.  Brooklyn is the most populous of the boroughs, and suburban Queens (Queen's County) is the largest in area.  The other two boroughs are The Bronx, a downscale residential area, and suburban Staten Island.  The modern city was formed in 1898 through a merger of the original New York City with Brooklyn.
