Immigrants grouped together in cities because they wanted to be reminded of their home.
Immigrants who settled in the cities got valuable information from other immigrants of the same ethnicity. They often settled in groups together.
Immigrants tended to group together in cities for several reasons: to find support and community with people who shared similar backgrounds and experiences; for access to familiar cultural foods, languages, and customs; and for economic opportunities in urban areas. Additionally, clustering together allowed for the preservation of their cultural identity and traditions in a new environment.
