Ellis Island primarily processed immigrants arriving from Europe between 1892 and 1954. The majority were from countries such as Italy, Ireland, Germany, and Poland, seeking better economic opportunities, escaping persecution, or fleeing war. Immigrants from other regions, including Eastern Europe and a smaller number from Asia and the Middle East, also passed through Ellis Island, though immigration laws later restricted many non-European groups. The island became a symbol of hope and new beginnings for millions seeking a fresh start in America.
For immigrants who ended up being approved, the process of passing through the system on Ellis Island took anywhere from 2 to 5 hours. Each person had to answer a list of 29 questions and declare how much money they had with them.
