Angel Island became an immigration station on the West Coast in 1910. It served as a processing center for immigrants, particularly those from Asia, until it closed in 1940. The station was notable for its role in enforcing the Chinese Exclusion Act and other restrictive immigration policies of the time.

Angel Island Immigration Station closed in 1940 due to a decline in immigration and changes in U.S. immigration policy. The station had served primarily as a processing center for Asian immigrants, particularly during the restrictive immigration laws of the early 20th century. After World War II, the station fell into disrepair and was eventually abandoned, later becoming a state park. Its closure marked the end of an era of significant immigration enforcement on the West Coast.
