#OTD in 1892, the federal government takes over immigration with the opening of the #EllisIsland Immigration Station. The first person to go through inspection was a 17-year-old Irish lass, #AnnieMoore. And with that, the #UnitedStates opened its doors to immigrants.

Baby Ruth candy debuted in 1921, the year after Babe Ruth joined the Yankees and turned baseball on its head. Yet the Curtiss Company insisted it was named after the daughter of President Grover Cleveland, whose last year in office was 1897. snopes.com/business/names/ba…
