Liberty Island is ruled by the eighth congressional district of New York.
Nonetheless, the U.S. Geological Survey really places it in New Jersey.
In line with the Nationwide Parks Service:
“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.”
