During the 19th century, Germans were the largest immigrant group to the United States, with over 5 million immigrants. There were so many German immigrants and they came with such a wide range of skills that it is difficult to specify what jobs they practiced as they settled in the U.S. About three-fifths settled in rural areas, primarily Ohio, Wisconsin and other midwestern states if they arrived in the ports of New York City or Philadelphia, and Texas if they arrived through the port of New Orleans. Most of the rural settlers became farmers, but farming communities also need blacksmiths, coopers, other artisans and shopkeepers to thrive. About two-fifths of the German immigrants who arrived between 1850 and 1890 stayed in New York City or moved to other large cities such as St. Louis. Many of whom had been craftsmen, professionals or businessmen in Germany, and continued their original professions upon arrival here.
