Megalopolis has Ellis Island, San Francisco has Angel Island, and now last but not least, the Coastal South has Galveston, Texas (page 194). From the early 1840s to the 1920s, this was the port of entry for tens of thousands of immigrants into Texas and the interior part of the United States. Almost half of these immigrants were Germans. A church known as the Sacred Heart Catholic Church (seen below) helped these immigrants adjust to their new life in Galveston.
