What city border the same state geographical north south east west?
There are 2 portions of New York City that are totally surrounded by New Jersey (on the North, East, South and West). These portions are Liberty Island (in its entirety) and a small portion of Ellis Island. Ellis Island was divided into New York and New Jersey portions by the US Supreme Court in the 1990s. New Jersey claimed both the islands, but they were originally defined as New York land inside of New Jersey water by agreement between the two states. In the early 1900s, during the building of the New York City Subways, much of the earth removed for the system was used as landfill all around the original Ellis Island, making it much larger. The Supreme Court held that only the original land belonged to New York. The landfilled area, originally under water, was determined to be New Jersey.
