Most immigrants moved to American cities primarily by train and ship. After arriving at major ports like New York or Ellis Island, they often traveled by rail to urban centers where job opportunities were abundant. Many were drawn by the promise of work in factories, construction, and service industries, seeking better living conditions and a chance for upward mobility. Additionally, established immigrant communities provided support and helped newcomers settle in urban areas.
