The purpose of Ellis Island was to regulate the number of immigrants let into the United States.The main purpose of Ellis Island, NY was to control the influx of immigrants into the United States. It served at the entry point for them for several decades.
Early immigrants got here on big steel boats, with sometimes a combined total of 20,000 would be Americans on board. Immigrants from Europe came in through Ellis Island while people from Asia came to America through Angel Island.
