That's my understanding too!
Will have to look it up but I'm pretty sure it was donated by a Rockefeller.

THE U.N. does NOT belong to the U.S.
John D. Rockefeller Jr. bought the 18 acre plot and donated it to United Nations. This site was then used to build the UN's headquarters. The whole area was converted into international territory and officially does not belong to the United States.
