Ellis island is at the mouth of the Hudson river.
Ellis Island is an island in New York harbor. For several decades from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, it was the primary port of entry into the United States. Immigrants would disembark at Ellis Island, be screened for some diseases, and then would have their names and previous addresses recorded before being admitted into the USA.

Ellis Island is located in the Hudson River, off of the New York City Harbor. From 1892 to 1954, immigrants were stopped at Ellis Island to check for diseases or a status that would disqualify them from entering the United States. Most of the island is actually within the territorial limits of Jersey City, Auburn New York

Ellis Island is about a mile (1.6 km) off the West Side of Lower Manhattan, in Upper New York Bay.

New York State and New Jersey share sovereignty over Ellis Island. The original, natural portion of the island belongs to New York State, and is part of New York City. The portion that was artificially created by landfill, as well as the underwater portion, belongs to New Jersey, and is part of Jersey City.
