Frenchman Edouard de Laboulaye first proposed the idea of a monument for the United States in 1865. Ten years later, sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was commissioned to design a sculpture with 1876 in mind for completion, to commemorate the centennial of the American Declaration of Independence. The Statue was named “Liberty Enlightening the World” and was a joint effort between America and France.
It was agreed that the American people were to build the pedestal, and the French people were responsible for the Statue and its assembly in the United States. However, dearth of funds was a problem on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In France, public fees, various forms of entertainment, and a lottery were among the methods used to raise funds. In the United States, benefit theatrical events, art exhibitions, auctions and prizefights assisted in providing needed funds. Financing for the pedestal was completed in August 1885, and pedestal construction was finished in April 1886.
The Statue was completed in France in July 1884 and arrived in New York Harbor in June 1885 onboard the French frigate “Isere.” In transit, it was reduced to 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates. It was reassembled on its new pedestal in four months’ time. On October 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland oversaw the dedication og the Statue of Liberty in front of thousands of spectators.
The United States Lighthouse Board has responsibility for the operation of the Statue of Liberty untul 1901, when the care and operation of the Statue was placed under the War Department. A Presidential Proclamation declared Fort Wood (and the Statue of Liberty within it) as a National Monument on October 15, 1924, and the monument’s boundary was set at the outer edge of Fort Wood. In 1993, the care and administration of the National Monument was transferred to the National Park Service.
On September, 1937, Jurisdiction was enlarged to encompass all of Bedloe’s Island and in 1956, the island’s name was changed to Liberty Island. On May 11, 1965, Ellis Island was also transferred to the National Park Service and became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument.
