Salvadoran Americans are individuals of Salvadoran descent living in the United States. They are part of a larger Latino community and have contributed to the cultural, social, and economic landscape of the country. Many Salvadoran Americans have settled in states like California, Texas, and Virginia, often seeking better opportunities and safety. The migration of Salvadorans to the U.S. increased significantly during the 1980s due to the Salvadoran Civil War. Today, Salvadoran Americans maintain their cultural heritage through traditions, food, and community events, while also integrating into American society.
