Is the Statue of Liberty actually in New Jersey?

Question

This question has probably been asked before, but is the statue really in NJ?

Take a look: http://www.aboutnewjersey.com/images/regions/hudson/LSP/mapSml.gif

As you can see, it's on the New Jersey side of the river.

So is it in New York City or New Jersey?

Answer 1

Statue of Liberty in Liberty Island and Ellis Island is on New York Harbor.

Answer 2

It's on Liberty Island in NEW YORK harbor

Answer 3

The Statue of Liberty may be located in New Jersey or it may be located in New York (which I don't think it is).  But it "belongs" to the People of the United States of America.

Answer 4

Both states have claimed ownership of the island.  Mapquest shows the same thing as your link does.  I think that the dispute is considered ongoing, but not really a huge deal in the scheme of things.
