Where is the Statue of Liberty located?

The Statue of Liberty is located on Liberty Island in New Jersey. This iconic statue was a gift from France to the United States, symbolizing freedom and democracy. Liberty Island is situated in New York Harbor, which is why it is often mistakenly associated with New York City. However, the island itself falls under New Jersey's jurisdiction. The statue has become a significant national monument and a symbol of hope for immigrants arriving in America.

Ellis Island, while nearby and often mentioned in connection with immigration, is where millions entered the U.S. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but it is distinct from Liberty Island and the Statue of Liberty. Manhattan is also close to the statue, but it is not the correct location of the statue itself. Alcatraz Island in California is famous for its former prison and does not relate to the Statue of Liberty at all.
