Then, the majority of immigrants came from Eastern Europe countries. After them, Chinese and Japanese migration flooded the United States. Immigration offices were established in the East Coast, in Ellis Island, New York; and the West Coast, in Angel Island, in San Francisco, California. And yes, a similarity between "old" and "new" waves of immigration in the 1800s was that immigrants from both periods established their own neighborhoods in major American cities such as Boston, New York in the East Coast, or San Francisco or Los Angeles in the West Coast.
