The Bronx is the northernmost of the five boroughs of New York City. It is co-terminous with Bronx County, the last of the 62 counties of New York State to be incorporated. Located north of Manhattan and Queens, and south of Westchester County, the Bronx is the only borough that is located primarily on the mainland (it includes, however, Riker's Island - home to the principal NYC Dept. of Corrections prison facilities as well as several other smaller islands esp, City island and Hart Island).

The Bronx's population is 1,400,761 according to the 2010 United States Census. The borough has a land area of 42 square miles (109 km2), making it the fourth-largest in land area of the five boroughs, the fourth most populated, and the third-highest in density of population.
