Ellis Island in New York was the main Immigration point in the USA for much of the last Century. It closed in 1954, and was re-opened as a museum in 1990. Due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, Ellis Island Immigration Museum has been closed indefinitely.

What immigrant processing station was in San francisco?

The immigrant processing station in San Francisco was Angel Island Immigration Station. Opened in 1910, it served as the primary entry point for Asian immigrants to the United States until its closure in 1940. Unlike Ellis Island, which processed primarily European immigrants, Angel Island had stricter immigration controls and was known for detaining many individuals for extended periods. Today, it is a historic site and museum that commemorates the experiences of immigrants who passed through there.
