Before arriving at Ellis Island, many immigrants first landed at various ports in the United States, such as New York City and Boston, where they often disembarked from their ships. However, Ellis Island itself was the primary entry point for immigrants arriving by sea to the U.S. from 1892 to 1954. Prior to Ellis Island's opening, immigrants typically went through processing at Castle Garden, which was the first official immigrant processing center in New York City.

The baggage room at Ellis Island was located in the main processing facility, specifically in the building that served as the immigrant reception center. Upon arrival, immigrants would deposit their luggage in this area before undergoing inspection and processing. The room was designed to manage the large volumes of belongings brought by immigrants, ensuring their baggage was stored securely while they went through the immigration process.
