Before 1890, individual states regulated the Immigration traffic that passed through Ellis Island. After that, the US Federal government took over regulations. Castle Garden (which used to be known as Castle Clinton) was the original immigration station from 1855 to 1890.
The Bureau of Immigration as well as the United States Public Health Service were the government agencies that processed the immigrants arriving at Ellis Island. In addition to the processing of their documents, immigrants were subjected to a 'Six second physical' to determine whether or not they were ill, and might bring an epidemic into the country.
