Statue of Liberty
- New Jersey

New York

The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island in what is called Upper New York Bay. In 1800, that island was ceded by New York to the federal government; and in 1834 a compact between New York and New Jersey set the state borders at the bay’s midpoint. Since her erection in 1886, arguments have raged as to whether Lady Liberty belongs to New York or New Jersey. However, despite their location on the New Jersey side of the state line, the original island remains New York territory.
