Why is the Statue of Liberty in New Jersey and why do people say that it is in New York City?

The Statue of Liberty is not in New Jersey. This is misinformation. New York and New Jersey share jurisdiction over the island. Although the island is on the New Jersey side of the state line, the part that lies above sea level belongs to New York, while the part that is submerged belongs to New Jersey.
See the Related Link below for more information about the controversy between New York and New Jersey over Liberty Island.
People consider the Statue of Liberty to be part of New York City because 1) the statue itself is (for obvious reasons) located on the part of Liberty Island that is above sea level, ergo, the statue is in New York City, or 2) they are simply unaware that New Jersey owns the submerged portion.
