Staunton Island is the second borough of Liberty City, as seen in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto 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.

Staunton´s Island is the home of skycrapers and buildings on Liberty City, since it is the island which houses most of this architecture. Liberty City does not have too many buildings as is its real life counterpart "New York City" or Liberty City in GTA IV Era, but the buildings are very good in impressive style, besides that many of them have some similarities with real life, both New York and elsewhere. Some of the buildings of Liberty City are:

Addition to buildings, Liberty City also has other structures distributed throughout the city such as City Halls (for example: City Hall and Town Hall), departments (Hepburn Heights and Wichita Gardens), casinos (Kenji's Casino), stadiums (Liberty Memorial Stadium), etc.

Parks

Liberty City has a total of 3 parks and a picnic area called Are "Staunton View Picnic Area", which could be a park over Liberty City.

The parks are located as follows:

  • Little China Park: located in Portland, is the only park on the island and the smallest of the city
  • Belleville Park: is considered the most important park in the city and the second largest park in the city.
  • Aspatria Waterfront Park: is named for the location in which the waterfront and actually has no name, is located in Aspatria, Staunton Island, is the longest park in the city.

Crime

On Staunton Island, the Forelli Family are shown, in 1998, as holding the Fort Staunton, Newport and Belleville Park districts, whilst the Sindacco Family had control of the Torrington district. The Yakuza also have influence in the district, with the Big Shot Casino. Toni Cipriani then begins to attack the two Mafia families on Staunton Island, forcing the Sindacco Family out of Torrington, before forcing the Forelli Family out of Newport and Belleville Park. Toni's actions allow the Uptown Yardies to take Newport, although Toni later has to hold off an attack from the Sindacco Family. Later on, on orders from Donald Love, Toni destroys the Fort Staunton district, forcing the Forelli Family out of Staunton Island. Salvatore is later arrested and taken to the police station in Pike Creek on Shoreside Vale, and Toni follows him. This allows the Uptown Yardies to maintain their stronghold in Newport, and allows the Yakuza to take over Torrington and Aspatria. By 2001, the Colombian Cartel take over the Fort Staunton district, which is being redeveloped by the Cartel front Panlantic Construction Company.
