Yes!  In one of my scenarios, I had a small island in a river that
ran through my city.  I brought power out there, and zoned everything
residential, but made no bridges or tunnels.  In a little while, the
island had a thriving (and _very_ exclusive little community).  

Also, it is possible to have more than one city on the map.  Start
small in several locations, and the cities will build up independently
of each other.  Fun!
