Roosevelt Island (pop. 9,500) is a long, narrow island in the East River of New York City, lying between the island of Manhattan to its west and Queens to its east.
Before colonization, the island was called Minnahanock by the aboriginal Indians.
The island was for many years devoted to hospitals and asylums, the last of which was closed in 1935.

The Roosevelt Island tram, a $1.50 - four minute trip, between Manhattan and Roosevelt is the only aerial commuter tram in the country.
Roosevelt Island is sometimes referred to as "The Little Apple", a joking reference to New York City's nickname as the "Big Apple".
