As the largest and most populated island in the contiguous United States, Long Island is an incredibly diverse place to call home. Spanning from westernmost point of Brooklyn all the way east to Montauk, the 118-mile island contains 40% of New York State’s population from the ultra urbanites to small town farmers.
