Ellis Island in New York Harbor was the
gateway for millions of immigrants to the United
States as the site of the nation's busiest
immigration station from 1892 to 1954. Prior to
that, the much smaller original island was the
site of Fort Gibson and later a naval magazine.
The island was greatly expanded
with landfill between 1892 and 1934. Since 1990,
restored buildings on the island host a museum of
immigration run by the National Park Service as
part of Statue of Liberty National Monument. A
1998 United States Supreme Court decision found
most of the island to be part of New Jersey.
25
Ellis Island is one of 40 islands around New
York.
Visitors to the Ellis Island Museum of
Immigration, opened in 1990, will not find it
difficult to visualize the scene when immigrants,
mainly from Europe, arrived on American soil
after long, crowded and often arduous voyages.
Many feared desperately that they would be turned
back for health or other reasons. However, 17
million new Americans were processed each
took about four hours and were allowed entry
between 1892 and 1954.
