Swedish Americans (Swedish: svenskamerikaner) are Americans of Swedish descent. The history of Swedish Americans dates back to the early colonial times,[3] with notable migration waves occurring in the 19th and early 20th centuries and approximately 1.2 million arriving between 1865–1915.[4] These immigrants settled predominantly in the Midwest, particularly in states like Minnesota, Illinois, and Wisconsin, in similarity with other Nordic and Scandinavian Americans. Populations also grew in the Pacific Northwest in the states of Oregon and Washington at the turn of the twentieth century.
As a community, Swedish Americans have contributed to various aspects of American life, including politics, the arts, sciences, and business. They brought with them distinct cultural traditions like unique culinary practices, language, and celebrations such as Midsummer. These traditions are preserved by institutions such as the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis,[5] the American Swedish Historical Museum in Philadelphia,[6] Chicago's Swedish American Museum, and the Gammelgården Museum in Scandia, Minnesota.[7]
