Ellis Island, located in New York Harbor, was the primary immigration station for millions of immigrants entering the United States from 1892 to 1954. It served as the first stop for immigrants arriving by ship, where they underwent medical and legal inspections before being granted entry into the country. The island processed over 12 million immigrants, many seeking better opportunities, escaping poverty, or fleeing political unrest. Ellis Island became a symbol of America's immigrant heritage, reflecting the nation's history as a melting pot of cultures. Today, the Ellis Island Immigration Museum preserves this legacy and educates the public about the immigrant experience.
