The Amish primarily settled in Pennsylvania, particularly in Lancaster County, which is one of the most well-known Amish communities in the United States. They also have significant populations in Ohio, Indiana, and other states. Their migration to these areas began in the early 18th century, seeking religious freedom and agricultural opportunities. Today, the Amish maintain distinct cultural practices and lifestyles centered around farming and community.
