According to Scholastic, the dirt and debris came from construction projects, such as from building New York City's subway tunnels. So the outer parts of the island were used as a landfill.
The History Channel's site says that In 1998, the Supreme Court ruled that the new land added after 1834 to the south side belongs to New Jersey. However, the original 3.5 acres still belongs to New York.
