Belarusian Americans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Belarusian Americans (Belarusian: Беларусы ЗША) are Americans of Belarusian descent.

The total estimate of Belarusian immigrants to the USA is between 650,000 and 750,000 (this estimate includes only actual immigrants, and not people of Belarusan descent born in the United States). A precise number of Belarusian Americans is difficult to determine, since historically, census and immigration statistics did not recognize Belarusans as a separate category. Many of them were recorded as Russian or Polish, depending on the region of Belarus in which they were born.

The largest concentrations of Belarusan-Americans are in the metropolitan New York area, New Jersey (especially Highland Park and South River), Cleveland (and its suburbs), Chicago, Los Angeles, and Detroit.
