With their Cuban-owned businesses and low cost of living, Miami, Florida and Union City, New Jersey (dubbed Havana on the Hudson)[13][14] were the preferred destinations for many immigrants and soon became the main centers for Cuban-American culture. The ancestry of Cuban Americans is primarily from Spaniards and Black Africans,[32] as well as more distant ancestry from among the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean and those of Florida. U.S. states with largest Cuban-American populations[edit] There have been eleven Cuban-American US representatives elected from Florida, two from New Jersey and New York, and one each from Texas, Ohio and West Virginia. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7551.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7551.txt
