The Immigration Station at Angel Island served as an immigration port between 1910 and 1940, designed to process Chinese immigrants whose entry was restricted by the Chinese Exclusion Law of 1882. During its 30 years of operation, Angel Island was the point of entry for most of the approximately 175,000 Chinese immigrants who came to the United States.
