Cuban Americans

Cuban Americans (Spanish: Cubanoamericanos) are Americans who trace their national origin to Cuba; and even though they identify themselves as Cubans. Cuban Americans form a distantly third largest Hispanic group in the United States, but nonetheless the largest group of Hispanics of European ancestry (predominantly Spanish) as a percentage but not in numbers.

Many communities throughout the United States have significant Cuban-American populations.Florida has the highest concentration of Cuban-Americans in the U.S., standing out in part because of its proximity to Cuba.

South Florida is followed by the Tampa and North Hudson, New Jersey, particularly Union City and West New York. With a population of 141,250, the New York metropolitan area's Cuban community is the largest outside of Florida. Nearly 70% of all Cuban Americans live in Florida.

Immigration

Early migrations

Before the Louisiana Purchase and the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819, Spanish Florida, and when divided during British occupation, East Florida and West Florida, including what is now Florida and the Gulf Coast west to the Mississippi River were provinces of the Captaincy General of Cuba (Captain General being the Spanish title equivalent to the British colonial Governor). Consequently, Cuban immigration to the U.S. has a long history, beginning in the Spanish colonial period in 1565 when St. Augustine, Florida was established by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, and hundreds of Spanish-Cuban soldiers and their families moved from Cuba to St. Augustine to establish a new life.
