Template:Infobox ethnic group Gujarati Americans are Americans that are ethnic Gujaratis. They are a subgroup of Indian Americans and Pakistani Americans.
The highest concentration of the Gujarati American population by a significant margin, with over 100,000 Gujarati individuals, is in the New York City Metropolitan Area, notably in the growing Gujarati diasporic center of India Square, or Little Gujarat, in Jersey City, New Jersey, and Edison and Monroe Township in Middlesex County in Central New Jersey. Significant immigration from India to the United States started after the landmark Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965,[5][6] Early immigrants after 1965 were highly educated professionals. Since U.S. immigration laws allow sponsoring immigration of parents, children and particularly siblings on the basis of family reunion, the numbers rapidly swelled in a phenomenon known as "chain migration".
