Best Answer

In 1865, Edourd de Laboulaye of France developed the idea of creating a giant statue to honor the friendship and the commitment to liberty between France and the United States.

French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi and structural engineer Gustave Eiffel finished the project in Paris, and the French people presented it to the people of America on July 4, 1884.

The statue was then shipped across the Atlantic in 214 crates broken into 350 individual separate pieces.

The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886, and President Grover Cleveland accepted the statue on behalf of the American people.
