The island is Liberty island.
The island was formerly called Bedloe's Island, and it is a a small uninhabited island in Upper New York Bay.
The name Liberty Island has been in use since the early 20th century, although the name was not officially changed until 1956. Before the Statue of Liberty, Bedloe's Island was the home to Fort Wood, an eleven pointed star-shaped battery made of granite. Because of this, its nickname was "Star Fort".
The funny think is that at various times it has been known as "Great Oyster," "Love Island," "Bedloo's Island," "Kennedy's Island," "Corporation Island," "Bedlow's Island" — an anglicized form of the original owner's name — and later "Bedloe’s," .
