No, Irish immigrants did not come through Ellis Island in 1845, as the facility officially opened in 1892. During the mid-19th century, particularly during the Great Famine (1845-1852), many Irish immigrants arrived in the United States through other ports, such as Castle Garden in New York City. Ellis Island became the primary immigration station later, serving millions of immigrants, including many Irish, in the years that followed.
Irish immigrants sailed to Canada as early as the 17th century. The Irish chose to leave Ireland due to the Great Famine that lasted from 1845 to 1852.
