Description
In 1850, less than 2% of Montgomery County’s population was foreign born. Today, more than 35% of the county’s residents are foreign born and even more speak at least one language besides English. How has Montgomery County become one of the most diverse counties in the United States? The answer lies in more than 200 years of immigration stories, featured in an online exhibit hosted by Montgomery History, which showcases the common themes of love, war, political upheaval, and the pursuit of education and career opportunities.
