Ellis Island is located in New York City's harbour, so geographically, it is not as convenient for Asian Immigration as are the western United States.

However, documentation of Asian American immigration begins in Louisiana in 1763 with Filipinos fleeing their work aboard Spanish ships. (See below for more detail.)

Many Asians came to America to work on the western trunk of the Transcontinental Railroad, and were thus most likely to land in western seaports.
