Angel Island Immigration Station,1915

Angel Island Immigration Station, California, 1915. Photographed by James David Givens. Angel Island Immigration Station in San Francisco Bay, California, was where officials detained, inspected, and examined approximately one million immigrants between January 21, 1910 and November 5, 1940. Since the first use of Angel Island as an artillery station in the 1860s, it has hosted many generations of gun batteries, up until 1962. Meanwhile it served as the Bay Area's primary quarantine and "disinfection" station, as the immigrant processing and detention center known as "the Ellis Island of the West," and as a prisoner of war camp during World Wars. The main difference between Ellis Island and Angel Island was that the majority of the immigrants that traveled through Angel Island were from Asian countries, such as China, Japan, and India. It is currently a State Park administered by California State Parks and a California Historical Landmark.
