All immigrants who wanted to go NYC had to stop at Ellis Island, to make sure they were okay to come into the USA. They were not criminals, they did not carry disease, they met Immigration quotas from a certain country. All the immigrants who wanted to go to NYC had to go to Ellis Island first. This was when boat travel across the Atlantic Ocean brought people to NYC.
