Ellis Island is located near the Statue of Liberty in the Hudson River, which is located in New York. Angel Island is located in San Francisco Bay. Both Ellis Island and Angel Island operated as immigration stations. Angel Island had immigrants from Asia, mainly from China and Japan. Ellis Island had mainly immigrants from Europe. Ellis Island opened in 1892, while Angel Island opened in 1910. Angel Island was called the "Ellis Island of the West." Angel Island was designed to constrict the immigration flow of the Chinese.
