Introduction to Alice Island

Alice Island is located in the southwest of Fort Manhattan in new york City, only15km away from Manhattan and only 300m away from the Statue of Liberty. When European immigrants arrive in the United States by boat on the other side of the ocean, they must first enter the new york Bay, then move on, and then reach the United States through the narros Strait. To the east of this narrow waterway is Long Island; To the west is Staten Island. Going forward by water is the wide Upper new york Bay. New Jersey is in the west, Long Island in the east, Staten Island in the south, Manhattan Island and the mouth of Hudson River in the north, and Alice Island is not far southwest of Manhattan Island.

America is a country made up of immigrants. People from all over the world came to the New World with the "American Dream" at different times, and the immigration policy of the federal government is constantly changing. Among them, the establishment of 1892 Alice Island Immigration Bureau is an important event in the history of immigration. During the 62 years from 1892 to 1954, the number of immigrants entering the United States via Alice Island reached120,000, and Alice Island has since become a landmark of American immigrants. It is estimated that 40% of American citizens now have at least one ancestor who entered the United States from Alice Island.
