Guide Note

This page contains information about Liberty City, as portrayed in the video game, Grand Theft Auto IV. Set in a redesigned Liberty City, based on four of the boroughs of New York City and parts of New Jersey, the total area of the map is smaller than that of San Andreas. While smaller, the newly designed Liberty City is far more detailed, and the largest individual city in the Grand Theft Auto series.

Fast Facts

1. Five regions: Dukes, Algonquin, Alderney, Broker, and Bohan
2. Locations and landmarks based on actual New York City areas

Liberty City was named in reference to New York's Statue of Liberty. Its geography and landmarks are based on four of the five actual New York City boroughs and parts of New Jersey. "Dukes" is based on Queens (Duke and Queen both being titles in British aristocracy), "Algonquin" is Manhattan (Manhattan being a word in the Native American language of the region, and Algonquin the name of an Eastern Native American tribe), "Alderney" is New Jersey (Alderney and Jersey are both British Channel Islands), "Broker" is Brooklyn, and "Bohan" is the Bronx. The fifth actual New York City borough, Staten Island, long referenced as "The Forgotten Borough," does not appear in the game.
