Nicaraguan American Community

The Nicaraguan American community consists of individuals from Nicaragua or of Nicaraguan descent living in the United States. This community has grown significantly since the 1970s and 1980s, particularly due to political turmoil and civil unrest in Nicaragua. Nicaraguan Americans contribute to diverse aspects of American society, including culture, business, and politics. They often maintain cultural ties with Nicaragua, celebrating traditions, cuisine, and festivals. The community plays a vital role in enhancing multiculturalism in the U.S., while also advocating for political and social issues relevant to their homeland and their lives in America.
