Immigrants often settled in neighborhoods known as "ethnic enclaves" or "ghettos." These areas were characterized by a concentration of people from the same nationality or ethnic background, allowing them to maintain cultural traditions and support systems. Examples include Little Italy, Chinatown, and Greektown, which emerged in various cities, particularly in the United States. Such neighborhoods provided a sense of community for newcomers adjusting to life in a new country.

In the late 1800s, numerous ethnic communities emerged in major American cities due to immigration. Notable examples include the Irish in Boston and New York, Italians in Chicago and New York, and Eastern European Jews in cities like New York and Philadelphia. These communities often formed tight-knit neighborhoods, preserving their cultural traditions while contributing to the urban fabric of America. They played a crucial role in shaping the social, economic, and political landscape of the cities they inhabited.
