-Since its founding, Wisconsin has been ethnically heterogeneous. Following the period of French fur traders, the next wave of settlers were miners, many of whom were [[Cornish American|Cornish]], who settled the southwestern area of the state. The next wave was dominated by "Yankees", migrants of [[English American|English descent]] from [[New England]] and [[upstate New York]]; in the early years of statehood, they dominated the state's heavy industry, finance, politics, and education. Between 1850 and 1900, the immigrants were mostly [[German Americans|Germans]], [[Scandinavian Americans|Scandinavians]] (the largest group being [[Norwegian American|Norwegian]]), [[Irish Americans|Irish]], and [[Polish Americans|Poles]]. In the 20th century, a number of African Americans and [[Mexican Americans|Mexicans]] settled in [[Milwaukee]]; and after the end of the [[Vietnam War]] came an influx of [[Hmong Americans|Hmongs]].

 The various ethnic groups settled in different areas of the state. Although German immigrants settled throughout the state, the largest concentration was in Milwaukee. Norwegian immigrants settled in lumbering and farming areas in the north and west. Irish, Italian, and Polish immigrants settled primarily in urban areas.<ref>Miller, Frank H., [http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/tp&CISOPTR=14489 "The Polanders in Wisconsin"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090829135614/http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=%2Ftp&CISOPTR=14489 |date=August 29, 2009 }}, Parkman Club Publications No. 10.
