Why is the Statue of Liberty part of new york?

Answer 1

It wasn't built in New York. It was actually shipped there in pieces from Paris. That's why it's green: it's made of copper, but the salt from the ocean while it was being shipped turned it from brown to green. It was put in New York because that is where most of the immigrants landed when they came over from Europe and the Statue of Liberty became symbolic of America and its acceptance of immigrants.

Answer 2

In 1886 NYC was the European gateway into the United States for immigrants, so it was a natural spot to put her. As the ships came into the harbor for Ellis Island one of the first things they saw was Lady Liberty. Money was raised to put her on Liberty Island and she was finished in 1889.
