Albanians in the United States are a diverse group primarily descended from immigrants who arrived during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as during the 1990s after the fall of communism in Albania. They have settled in various states, with significant populations in New York, Michigan, and California. The Albanian community has contributed to American society through various fields, including business, arts, and politics. Many maintain their cultural heritage through language, traditions, and community organizations, fostering a sense of identity while integrating into the broader American landscape.
