Visitors driving through Balboa for the first time were apt to slow down for a second look when they first spot the Statue of Liberty on Gorgona Road. Most were surprised to find a replica of this well known U.S. symbol so far south.

The Canal Zone statue, which faces the Balboa Fire Station, was donated to the Canal Zone Boy Scout Council in May 1951 by Morris Hoffman, a Kansas City, Missouri contractor and scouting enthusiast.

Although the Governor had approved the installation site in the triangle of land bound by La Boca Road, Balboa Road and the parking lot in front of the Balboa Police Station, there were no funds for the work and the statue was placed on display at the Canal Zone Library. When funds, mainly donations from the Boy Scout community, were available, the statue was installed at the selected site and dedicated on May 30, 1953.

The widening of Balboa Road made it necessary to move the statue to another area. It was relocated in May 1972 to in front on the Balboa Fire Station across from Balboa High School. The statue was later moved to Ft. Clayton.

In 1999 the statue was moved to the US Ambassador to Panama's house in Panama City, Rep. of Panama
