The Greek did settle in Tarpon Springs, Florida. They settle there because near the town of Tarpon Springs, natural sponges were discovered growing in the Gulf of Mexico. The sponges could not be gathered fast enough to meet the demand, so Greek divers were brought in to help. These divers wore special diving suits that allowed them to walk along the bottom of the sea. Because of this, they were able to work faster, which increased the supply of sponges.
The Huger percentage of Greeks settled within Australia after WW2 - particularly in Melbourne and Sydney.
In fact, so great was the mass migration of Greeks to Australia that by the end of the 1960's, Melbourne was believed to hold the 3rd largest Greek contingent of any city in the world - including those of native Greece! Greek is the 4th most-spoken home language of any language in Australia
