Ellis Island is about a mile (1.6 km) off the West Side of Lower Manhattan, in Upper New York Bay.

New York State and New Jersey share sovereignty over Ellis Island. The original, natural portion of the island belongs to New York State, and is part of New York City. The portion that was artificially created by landfill, as well as the underwater portion, belongs to New Jersey, and is part of Jersey City.
