Where is the Statue of Liberty located?

The Statue of Liberty is located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. This iconic symbol of freedom and democracy was a gift from France to the United States and has become one of the most recognized landmarks in the nation. Liberty Island provides the necessary space for visitors to view the statue up close and is also home to the pedestal and museum dedicated to its history. While Ellis Island is closely associated with the statue, particularly as it was a major immigration station, the statue itself is situated on Liberty Island, making that the correct answer. Additionally, although Manhattan and Brooklyn are both nearby areas of New York City, they do not house the statue itself.
