Irish Traveller Americans are Americans who are of Irish Traveller descent. There are an estimated 7,000-40,000 Irish Traveller Americans.[1] Irish Travellers are an ethnic group with origins in Ireland; they may or may not consider themselves to be Irish or Irish American.
Most Irish Travellers are in South Carolina and Texas, especially in the North Augusta and Fort Worth/White Settlement areas specifically. Irish Traveller Americans consist of people originating from immigrants who came to the U.S. before the 20th century, and some who came later during the 1900s and 2000s. Georgia, New York, and Tennessee also have communities of sizable proportions.
Irish Travellers are often involved in painting, construction, and pavement/asphalt-related work.
