''New Jersey v. New York'', , was a United States Supreme Court case where New Jersey won roughly 90% of Ellis Island from New York.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=THE ELLIS ISLAND VERDICT: THE RULING; High Court Gives New Jersey Most of Ellis Island )〕 ==History==
An interstate compact had been signed between New York and New Jersey prior to Ellis Island becoming a major immigration center. This compact granted New York the rights to all islands in the water channel separating the two states (including both Ellis Island and the much larger Staten Island), but granting New Jersey the rights to half of the water channel. This agreement was fashioned in order to allow New Jersey to build docks on the riverfront, while allowing New York to control islands that it already considered integral parts of its territory. This led to places such as Ellis Island located on the New Jersey half of the river, but belonging to New York. Later, Ellis Island was expanded through land reclamation and soon became a major center for immigrants coming from Europe to the New World. This land was added by New York and operated by New York for decades before New Jersey brought its lawsuit. Since the land added by New York was not expressly granted to New York by the interstate compact, and was placed in water that had been expressly granted to New Jersey, the majority ruled that this "new" land (decades old by this time) must belong to New Jersey. The dissent used historical reasons and "common-sense inference" as their basis for supporting New York's claim.
