Is the Statue in New York or New Jersey? The Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island, federal property administered by the National Park Service, located within the territorial jurisdiction of the State of New York. A pact between New York and New Jersey, ratified by Congress in 1834, declared this issue.

Is Ellis Island in New York or New Jersey?: Since a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 1998, Ellis Island, which is federal property, belongs within the territorial jurisdiction of both New York and New Jersey depending upon where you are. The main building, housing the Ellis Island immigration museum, is within the boundary of New York State. Since the island was expanded over many years to its current 27.5 acres, this expansion of property is now mostly within the territory of New Jersey. The entire island remains federal property first and foremost.
