Angel Island Immigration Station - Early Arrivals Records Search 1882-1955
located in San Francisco..In 1905, construction of an
Immigration Station began in the area known as China Cove. Surrounded
by public controversy from its inception, the station was finally put
into operation in 1910. Although it was billed as the "Ellis Island
of the West", within the Immigration Service it was known as "The Guardian
of the Western Gate" and was designed control the flow of Chinese into
the country, who were officially not welcome with the passage of the
Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This facility was primarily a detention
center. Beginning with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, a series
of restrictive laws had prohibited the immigration of certain nationalities
and social classes of Asians. Although all Asians were affected, the
greatest impact was on the Chinese.
