Ellis Island is an island in New York Harbor, within the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York. Owned by the U.S. government, Ellis Island was the busiest immigrant inspection and processing station in the United States.

Ellis Island was the gateway for about 12 million immigrants to the United States as the nation's busiest immigrant inspection station for over sixty years from 1892 until 1954. The island, in Upper New York Bay, was greatly expanded with land reclamation between 1892 and 1934. Before that, the much smaller original island was the site of Fort Gibson and later a naval magazine. The island was made part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965 and has hosted a museum of immigration since 1990. Below is a list of Ellis Island immigrants who attained notability in the United States.

In previous decades, most immigrants to the United States had come from northern European countries: England, Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and others. The bulk of the “new” immigrants were from the countries of eastern and southern Europe: Italy, Russia, Greece, the Baltic states, and the Slavic countries. Others were from non-European countries such as Turkey, Armenia, and Syria. Virtually all were fleeing drought, famine, oppre…

Constructed in phases, the facility encompassed both a general hospital and a separate pavilion-style contagious disease hospital. The h…
