The Statue of Liberty is located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor and was a gift to the United States from France in 1886 to honor the ideals of freedom and independence and to represent the friendship established between the two countries during the American Revolution. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue which stands 151 feet high, and 305 feet high including the pedestal and foundation. The Statue of Liberty became a symbol of hope and freedom for many millions of people who immigrated to the United States during the 20th century to find a new life of peace and prosperity.
