1. About Tottenville
While Tottenville may have historically been independent in its early settlement, in 1898 it was part of the consolidation of the City of New York as part of the Borough of Richmond (now the Borough of Staten Island). Due to its location on Staten Island, it is the southwesternmost neighborhood in the City of New York. It is also the southwesternmost part of the State of New York.
