* The Statue of Liberty is in New Jersey waters, but an agreement in 1834 made anything below the water property of New Jersey and anything above the water property of New York. So it's technically still on New York City soil. Her mailing address is New Jersey, but taxes on anything bought in the gift shop are paid to New York. The island is patrolled by the federal government.

Travel Channel. Can't ... stop ... watching ...
