Americans of Breton birth or descent
Breton Americans are Americans of Breton descent from Brittany. An estimated 100,000 Bretons emigrated from Brittany to the United States between 1880 and 1980.
History.
A large wave of Breton immigrants arrived in the New York City area during the 1950s and 1960s. Many settled in the East Elmhurst neighborhood of Queens. However, more than 10,000 Bretons left their native land to emigrate to New York.
There is also a Breton soccer team in Queens.
