The "Golden Door" is a nickname for the United States, symbolizing opportunity and freedom. Ellis Island, located in the New York Harbor, served as the main entry point for immigrants to the United States between 1892 and 1954. It is sometimes called the "Isle of Tears" because many immigrants were detained there for medical or legal reasons, and some were deported back to their home countries. Castle Garden, located in Manhattan, was a predecessor to Ellis Island and served as an immigration center from 1855 to 1890. Boston Harbor and Cherry Point are not associated with immigration or Ellis Island.
