Major Swiss immigration to America occured between 1850 and 1914, when thousands of rural residents left their home country to for affordable farmland here.

In the 2000 census, 911,502 people in the U.S. claimed Swiss ancestry.

ePodunk mapped the top communities by percentage of population. The map and the following list show communities in which 1,000 or more people listed an ancestry group, and in which at least 5 percent of those people said they were Swiss.

The links at left lead to information on other ethnicities.
