<P> Ellis Island , in Upper New York Bay , was the gateway for over 12 million immigrants to the United States as the nation 's busiest immigrant inspection station for over sixty years from 1892 until 1954 . The island was greatly expanded with land reclamation between 1892 and 1934 . Before that , the much smaller original island was the site of Fort Gibson and later a naval magazine . The island was made part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965 , and has hosted a museum of immigration since 1990 . </P>
