Mass Immigration through Ellis Island effectively ended in 1924 with the implementation of the Immigration Act, which established strict quotas and limitations on the number of immigrants allowed from various countries. While Ellis Island continued to operate until 1954, the significant influx of immigrants that characterized its earlier years had already diminished by the mid-1920s.
