More than 12 million immigrants were processed at the facilities on Ellis Island in the harbor of New York City from the time it opened in 1891 until 1954. Its unique role in American history was recognized when Ellis Island became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965. It reopened to the public as a museum in 1990.
