Historical Society of Angel Island

The Historical Society of Angel Island is an organization dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of Angel Island, located in San Francisco Bay. Once used as an immigration station (similar to Ellis Island) from the early 1900s to the 1940s, it was a gateway for many immigrants arriving on the West Coast. The society works to protect the site, educate the public about its significance, and share stories of the diverse peoples who passed through or lived there, highlighting its importance in U.S. immigration history and regional heritage.
