Manhattan refers both to the Island of Manhattan which borders the lower Hudson River, and also to the Borough of Manhattan (one of the five Boroughs of New York City), which includes the island of Manhattan itself, as well as several other smaller islands and a small portion of the mainland (see geography). The borough is coterminous with New York County, and addresses within the borough of Manhattan are typically designated as New York, NY.

New York City has five boroughs, all of which are controlled by the same city government, under the mayor. Each borough has its own borough president also. Manhattan is not the "main" borough, but most of the city government is located there. The boroughs are Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. There are also islands that are part of the city, like Roosevelt Island, which is considered part of New York County, which includes Manhattan.
