Ellis Island is an island about a mile offshore of Manhattan Island, in Upper New York Bay, at the mouth of the Hudson River. Sovereignty is shared by New York State and New Jersey. The original, natural portion of the island belongs to New York, and the part that was artificially created by landfill belongs to New Jersey.Ellis Island was home to the Ellis Island Immigration Station, which was the largest immigrant processing station in the United States from 1892 to 1953. It was a place where immigrants from all over the world came to start a new life.People came for different reasons such as war, economic issues or corrupt government. Only Chinese could not enter after the Exclusion Act of 1882, which prohibited the Chinese from immigrating to the U.S and becoming eligible for citizenship if they had already arrived.Today, the Ellis Island Immigration Station is the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. The museum opened on September 10, 1990.ellis island is an iland next to the state of liberty btw i am 11 years old and sexy
