If Balto was born and grew up in Nome, Alaska and then died there later, why is the statue in honor of him in New York at Central Park?

You need to look into the history of the serum run itself. I mean,
did you even watch the cartoon movie? That alone hints at it.
However, I recommend the book "The Cruelest Miles", by Gay and Laney
Salisbury. Or "The Adventures of Balto", by Patricia Chargot. You
can find both books referenced on the acknowledgements page of my
website:

Because NY's central park is known internationaly, if it was located in Nome, then not as much people would honor him, for only the people of tiny town Nome.
