For an island barely a square mile in size, Angel Island has an extremely diverse history. Over the last two centuries, the island has seen use as a Mexican land grant, an Army artillery post, and an immigration station. Now it's a state park, attracting hikers, history buffs, and islophiles of all persuasions.
