The main reason immigrants chose to live in the east coast cities, was economic reality. The large numbers of Irish immigrants tended to come to America with little money, just enough to get them to the city. Therefore, they focused on getting jobs in the factories of the northern cities at the time. German immigrants, who were more likely to arrive with some money and skills, had the ability to move to different parts of the colonies such as the south.
Immigrants would move to cities were it was easy to find a job. They would also move to places where they already had the same ethnic group settle.
They hoped to escape discrimination and find beter educational and economic opportunites, that's why African Americans began to move to northern cities in the 1890s.

Yes, historically immigrants in the United States tended to move eastward and northward as they settled in various regions for job opportunities, economic growth, and community support. Immigrants from different countries often clustered in urban areas in the Northeast and Midwest where they could find work in industries like manufacturing and agriculture.
The term for people who move permanently to another country is "immigrants."
the north had many more towns which were based on manufacturing. The south was primarily an agrarian (farming) society. Many immigrants were poor. It costs money to become a farmer -- to buy land, animals, hire help etc. It was easier for them to go to northern cities and get jobs which didn't need money to get. Also many manufacturers would hire immigrants because they were willing to work for less money.
