Without Ellis island, the United States would certainly not be the country it is today, as tens of millions of emigrants arrived in the United States at the end of the 19th century and at the very beginning of the 20th century (1892-1924). These emigrants paved the way for what the country is today.

Is Ellis Island or Statue of Liberty more important to the US?
It is an opinion. Honestly, I think Ellis Island is more important and provided more purpose, whereas the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France. Important, yes, but not beneficial. Not that it should be given any less respect, but everyone goes to see Lady Liberty and Ellis Island is not as popular. I've heard they are usually both crowded, but when I went, we were the only ones on the boat going to the island and had the whole museum to ourselves. The Statue of Liberty is beautiful and has a grand history, but Ellis Island's history is also very interesting and so much deeper. If you are deciding which one to go to, try to go to both, but if not, Ellis Island. You take a boat ride just past the Statue of Liberty to get to Ellis Island, so you take pictures on the way there.
What is the name of the island where many immigrants first landed as they travelled to the US?
