The following is a short list of Puerto Ricans who migrated to New York and became notable in their own right: Puerto Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and from 1898 to 1932 also called Porto Rico in English, is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the northeast Caribbean Sea, approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 km) southeast of Miami, Florida. Méndez became the first native-born Puerto Rican to become a district leader of a major political party in New York City.
In New York and many other cities, Puerto Ricans usually live in close proximity with Dominicans and African Americans. As of 2016, about 13 million — about 4% of the total U.S. population — have Caribbean ancestry. [16] In New York, they faced the same hardships and discrimination that earlier groups of immigrants, such as the Irish, the Italians, and the Jews, had faced before them.
Irish [22], In 1937, Oscar Garcia Rivera, Sr. (1900–1969), a native of Mayagüez and resident of East Harlem, became the first Puerto Rican to be elected to public office in the continental United States as a member of the New York State Assembly. Tabaqueros traditionally were known in the community for being the highest paid workers in the Puerto Rican Community. Ship records show that many Puerto Ricans traveled on ships that sailed from and to the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Relegated at first to barrios in the furthest reaches of the city, the migrants quickly sought and gained footholds in New York. [6], Northern New Jersey has also received a robust influx of Puerto Rican migration in the 21st century,[57][58] given its proximity to both New York City's and Philadelphia's Puerto Rican establishments. Rafael Hernández was a Puerto Rican who served in the almost all Afro-American unit. The unit fought against the Germans in France and became known[ by whom? ] For example, in 2009 Puerto Ricans alone made up 29.1% of Reading, Pennsylvania's population,[51] which was over 53% Hispanic, and 25.0% of Lawrence, Massachusetts' population, which was over 70% Hispanic. Puerto Ricans no longer needed a passport to travel to the U.S. and were allowed to seek public office in the mainland U.S.[18] The economic situation in the island was bad and continued to worsen as a result of the many hurricanes which destroyed most of its crops. The advent of air travel was one of the principal factors that led to the largest wave of migration of Puerto Ricans to New York City in the 1950s, known as "The Great Migration".

[16], In 1902, the United States Treasury Department issued new immigration guidelines that changed the status of all Puerto Ricans to "foreigners." [69] By 1940, however, the name "Spanish Harlem" was becoming widespread, and by 1950, the area was predominately Puerto Rican and African American. [9] Another prominent Puerto Rican who in 1871 immigrated to New York was Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, considered by many as the "Father of Black History." [27] The Tabaqueros held a sense of pride in their work as well as their eloquent knowledge of politics and culture, which they would learning during working hours and events of associations like Circulo de Tabaqueros.
By 1901, exportation Puerto Rico's shifted from importing to exporting, and cigars making began to increase. Caribbeans Cigar makers would sit in front of tables for hours and hand roll each cigar.

Fuzhounese Puerto Ricans are the people of Puerto Rico, the inhabitants, and citizens of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and their descendants. [56] Also, unlike the initial pattern of migration several decades ago, this second Puerto Rican migration into New York and surrounding states is being driven by movement not only into New York City proper, but also into the city's surrounding suburban areas, such that the New York City Metropolitan Area gained the highest number of additional Puerto Rican Americans of any metropolitan area between 2010 and 2016, to 1,494,670 in 2016.
The Memoir is considered to be an important piece of Puerto Rican literature, because of its accounts regarding how Puerto Ricans adjusted to a new culture and life in the United States. This led to the "Harlem Riots" of July 1926. between unemployed Jews and Puerto Ricans. [70], Puerto Rican neighborhoods in Manhattan include Spanish Harlem and Loisaida. [23]. With this movement, the identities of New Yorker and Puerto Rican were inseparably merged, thereby solidifying the historically unstable Puerto Ricans’ position here in New York City. Estimates were that more than one million Puerto Ricans had migrated during that period. "Latin America's Wars Volume I: The Age of the Caudillo, 1791–1899"; by Robert L. Scheina; Pg. According to the 2010 census, Puerto Ricans represent 8.9 percent of New York City alone (32% of the city's Hispanic community), and 5.5% of New York State as a whole. Cubans Several factors contributed and led to what came to be known as "The Great Migration" of Puerto Ricans to New York. Russians [44] By 1960, the United States census showed that there were well over 600,000 New Yorkers of Puerto Rican birth or parentage. Various Puerto Rican organizations in East Harlem, organized a media campaign to ease the tensions between the groups involved and called upon the mayor, governor of the state to restore order and provide protection to the area. Puerto Rican women confronted economic exploitation, discrimination, racism, and the insecurities inherent in the migration process on a daily basis, however they fared better than did men in the job market.
The following is a short list of Puerto Ricans who migrated to New York and became notable in their own right: Puerto Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and from 1898 to 1932 also called Porto Rico in English, is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the northeast Caribbean Sea, approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 km) southeast of Miami, Florida. Méndez became the first native-born Puerto Rican to become a district leader of a major political party in New York City.
In New York and many other cities, Puerto Ricans usually live in close proximity with Dominicans and African Americans. As of 2016, about 13 million — about 4% of the total U.S. population — have Caribbean ancestry. [16] In New York, they faced the same hardships and discrimination that earlier groups of immigrants, such as the Irish, the Italians, and the Jews, had faced before them.
Irish [22], In 1937, Oscar Garcia Rivera, Sr. (1900–1969), a native of Mayagüez and resident of East Harlem, became the first Puerto Rican to be elected to public office in the continental United States as a member of the New York State Assembly. Tabaqueros traditionally were known in the community for being the highest paid workers in the Puerto Rican Community. Ship records show that many Puerto Ricans traveled on ships that sailed from and to the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Relegated at first to barrios in the furthest reaches of the city, the migrants quickly sought and gained footholds in New York. [6], Northern New Jersey has also received a robust influx of Puerto Rican migration in the 21st century,[57][58] given its proximity to both New York City's and Philadelphia's Puerto Rican establishments. Rafael Hernández was a Puerto Rican who served in the almost all Afro-American unit. The unit fought against the Germans in France and became known[ by whom? ] For example, in 2009 Puerto Ricans alone made up 29.1% of Reading, Pennsylvania's population,[51] which was over 53% Hispanic, and 25.0% of Lawrence, Massachusetts' population, which was over 70% Hispanic. Puerto Ricans no longer needed a passport to travel to the U.S. and were allowed to seek public office in the mainland U.S.[18] The economic situation in the island was bad and continued to worsen as a result of the many hurricanes which destroyed most of its crops. The advent of air travel was one of the principal factors that led to the largest wave of migration of Puerto Ricans to New York City in the 1950s, known as "The Great Migration".

When Gonzalez arrived in New York, she and all the Puerto Ricans who were with her, were detained in Ellis Island and denied entry. as the "Harlem Hell Fighters".
Ridgewood, Queens, also has a significant Puerto Rican population, as does the neighboring community of Bushwick, Brooklyn. According to the Census taken in the year 2000, Puerto Rican migrants made up 1.2% of the total population of the United States, with a population of well over 3 million Puerto Ricans (including those of Puerto Rican descent). After Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico in September 2017, devastating the infrastructure of the island, New York State was expected to be the likeliest destination for Puerto Rican migrants to the U.S. mainland when premised upon family ties, with New Jersey being the third likeliest destination.
