    Ellis Island was a small island located between New York and New Jersey that served as the gateway for over 12 million immigrants to the United States from 1892 to 1954. Immigrants arriving at Ellis Island would undergo medical exams and questioning to determine if they could enter the country, with only 2% being denied passage. The island processed massive numbers of immigrants seeking opportunity in America and became known as the "Island of Tears" due to the heartbreak of those few who were refused entry.
