Immigration

Immigration to the United States from 1789 to 1930 made the U. S. what it is today. Considered the melting pot of the world, the U. S. incurred immigration from many countries around the world, especially from Europe.

Many immigrants came as whole families. Others came one at a time and sent for other family members as they could afford it.

Immigration began in force in the late 1700’s / early 1800’s. Scotch-Irish were some of the first immigrants to settle in the new United States. These immigrants settled west of the Appalachian Mountains in an area known as “the back country”. They settled in this area to take advantage of farming opportunities. Since then, the Irish have been one of the top immigrating groups to our country. Below is a picture of Irish immigrants in the early 1900’s.

Swedish immigrants began arriving in the United States during the early and middle 1800’s. These immigrants brought with them skilled trades, such as carpentry and furniture-making. Swedish workers would make a major impact on woodworking and other construction skills for years to come.

Eastern and southern European immigrants began arriving in the United States in the middle 1800’s and early 1900’s. Italians became one of the first southern European immigrant groups to migrate to the United States. The skills and expertise they brought with them included stone-masonry, which can be seen today in the numerous churches across the eastern and middle United States. Here is a picture of Italian immigrants arriving at Ellis Island in the early 1900’s.

German immigrants originally came to the United States to take advantage of the abundance of land the opportunity to farm, both in food crops and dairy products. They also contributed to scientific research and technological advances.
