Best Answer

Annie Moore became the first immigrant to pass through Ellis Island in 1892. She was 15 years old at the time. She came from County Cork, Ireland.

She was actually 17, but the press weren't going to let facts get in the way of a good story.

New York Magazine (link below) has an interesting article on Annie Moore.

Immigrant's didn't live on Ellis Island. They came through Ellis Island to get to the US. Ellis Island was the 'front desk' where immigrants had their papers checked before they could be let into the US. Think of it like a secretary letting people in to see the boss.
