Angel Island Historical Site

Angel Island Historical Site, located in San Francisco Bay, is often referred to as the "Ellis Island of the West." It served as an immigration station from 1910 to 1940, primarily for Asian immigrants entering the United States. Many faced long detentions and harsh questioning due to restrictive immigration laws. Today, the site features preserved buildings and exhibits that highlight its complex history and the experiences of those who passed through. Visitors can explore its beautiful natural surroundings while learning about the significant cultural and historical impact of immigration in American society.
