Angel Island

Angel Island is an island in San Francisco Bay, known for its stunning natural beauty and historical significance. It served as an immigration station from 1910 to 1940, processing Asian immigrants, particularly from China, during a time of restrictive immigration laws. Often referred to as the "Ellis Island of the West," it has a rich history marked by the experiences of those who passed through its facilities. Today, Angel Island is a state park, offering hiking, biking, and panoramic views of the Bay Area, while also preserving its historical sites for educational purposes.
