German immigrants, for example, often lived in communities with other German-speaking people. One of the oldest immigrant neighborhoods in New York City is called Little Italy. Many Italian immigrants settled there when they came to New York City in the early 1 900s. A few blocks south of Little Italy is Chinatown. Many Chinese immigrants settled there.
