Brooklyn/Kings County of Long Island is actually Kings County which is within Long Island, but it is also part of the Brooklyn Borough of New York City, so it falls under the reign of NYC's government. Kings runs along the western side of the Island, and has a total area of 96 square miles. The 2000 United States Census board recorded nearly 2.5 million people residing within 96 sq. miles in the Kings County borders. While falling under the governing body of NYC, Kings County has its own group of community boards which oversee the various neighborhoods, and a borough president who controls the community boards.
