* Cuban: The largest Hispanic group in Florida is Cuban, with a strong presence in Miami-Dade County, known as "Little Havana." The Cuban diaspora began in the early 20th century, especially after the Cuban Revolution in 1959.
* Puerto Rican: The second-largest Hispanic group in Florida is Puerto Rican, with significant communities in central Florida, particularly Orlando and its surrounding areas. Many Puerto Ricans migrated to Florida for economic opportunities and to escape the political and social unrest in their homeland.
* Dominican: The Dominican Republic is the third-largest Hispanic group in Florida, with a concentrated presence in South Florida, particularly in Miami-Dade County. Dominicans have been migrating to Florida since the 1970s, attracted by the state's economic opportunities and its proximity to their homeland.
While these are the largest Hispanic groups, Florida also has significant populations of Hispanics from other countries, including:
* Mexico: Mexico is the fourth-largest Hispanic group in Florida, with a growing presence in central Florida and along the Gulf Coast.
* Colombia: Colombia is the fifth-largest Hispanic group in Florida, with a strong presence in South Florida.
* Venezuela: Venezuela has a significant presence in South Florida, especially after the economic crisis in their country in recent years.
The influence of these Hispanic communities is evident in Florida's culture, cuisine, music, and language.
