Staunton Island is the second borough of Liberty City, as seen in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand TheftAuto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Commerce is plentiful, as composed mostly of business buildings and weapons can be acquired from two different stores: one selling regular weapons available to many, and the other selling militia-style or army-type weapons available to only soldiers.

There are also residential areas in the island such as Newport, Belleville Park and Fort Staunton (only in 1998, as in GTA III is a construction). Staunton Island is also, up until 1998, the home of at least two Mafia families: the Sindaccos and the Forellis. Staunton Island has its very own Yakuza-owned casino.

Districts

Staunton Island includes landmarks based on the real landmarks of Manhattan, although the name is based in Staten Island consisting of a high-rise downtown in the southern part, a high-rise Midtown in the Center and a much smaller skyline in the northern part or more of the Uptown. Staunton Island consists of eight districts.
