Greek American Heritage Month, always in March, is an opportunity to celebrate all things Greek, from the first ideas of democracy to the gyro sandwich.
Greeks have been part of the American experience since Don Theodoro first landed in Florida in 1528. The first landmark named for a Greek in North America is the Straight of Juan de Fuca, which defines a portion of the US and Canadian Border, after Captain Juan de Fuca, who discovered it in 1592.
Though Florida saw some Greeks (about 500) settle in the mid-1700s, it wasn’t until the 1850s that Greek migration intensified. These immigrants settled in New Orleans. As the Ottoman Empire began to crumble, the largest contingency of Greeks came to America. Between 1890 and the end of WWI, nearly 500,000 made the trip.
Today the US Government reports that over 1.4 million people in the United States have Greek Ancestry. Famous Americans of Greek Ancestry include former Vice President Spiro Agnew, actor Billy Zane, Elia Kazan, opera great Maria Callas, actress Jennifer Aniston, Actor John Stamos, and media mogul Arianna Huffington.
