expand_more Description

Cuban Americans are people living in the United States whose origins are on the island of Cuba. Most of the Cuban American population lives in large metropolitan areas, primarily in and around Miami, but also in the New York-New Jersey area and Los Angeles. From the early nineteenth century to the present time, the United States has been the principal country of destination for Cuban emigrants. The development of close economic, political, and cultural relations between the two nations, even when Cuba was still a Spanish colony, attracted to the U.S. Cubans, who have had a prominent influence on the political, social and cultural life of their new homeland.
