North American Armenians are an ethnic minority in the United States and Canada. The Armenian Diaspora began in the 1890s following the failed revolutionary movement and the Armenian Genocide of 1915. They have migrated primarily to large industrial cities in the United States; most live in the Northeast or California.  There is also a large Armenian community in Montreal. Early economic activities included factory and agricultural jobs and more recently business and the professional occupations.  Many maintain membership in the Armenian Christian Church, the oldest national church in the world.
