Recently I wrote an article about New York County with the least population, It's certainly a place where you can live and not have to deal with a lot of people. It is Hamilton County in the Adirondack region of New York State with a population of 5,161.

The Smallest New York State County Is...

But what New York State county is the smallest? Without looking, I thought it might be a county in either Central or Western New York, but I was wrong. The smallest county is New York County. What is in New York County? The Island of Manhattan.

 

According to USA.com, New York County is just 22.83 square miles. Compare that with New York's largest county, St. Lawrence with a size of 2,680.38 square miles. It's interesting to note that one county does not encompass all of New York City, While Manhattan is in New York County, Brooklyn is in Kings County (the largest county population-wise at 2,641,052), The Bronx is in Bronx County, Staten Island is in Richmond County and Queens is in Queens County.

To round out the top 5, at #3 is Hamilton County with 1,717,376 square miles and at #2, it's Essex County with a size of 1,794.23 square miles.
