The original 3.7 acres of natural island has belonged to New York state since 1834, while the remainder of the 27 acres built on landfill since then, has been part of New Jersey state since 1998. Complicating the matter further, the structures on the island are Federal Property and National Landmarks. Between 1892 and 1943, 12 Million immigrants entered America here.

Liberty State Park

Central Railroad NJ Terminal

In 1889, New Jersey Central Railroad built the French Chateau styled terminal at Liberty State Park It was a busy railyard and receiving point for ferries into Manhattan & Brooklyn. In 1967, it was discontinued when Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) was created. PATH re-routed the train from Newark slightly north through Exchange Place and tunneled under the Hudson River and Battery Park City to the World Trade Center. The Terminal was renovated and turned into the Visitor's Center at Liberty State Park.
