Nepali Community Settlement in Connecticut

May 25th, 2010 by admin

Southwestern Connecticut has always been a popular destination for immigrants. Because of the proximity to New York City and a true New England charm, this shoreline region along the Long Island Sound is also known as the Gold Coast. This region was historically chosen by aspiring businessmen because it was home to one of America’s most affluent settlements. Cities like Bridgeport, Waterbury were on the forefront of the industrial boom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The capital city of Hartford is also known as the ‘Insurance Capital of the World’ because it really all started and flourished here.

The region was also attractive to students coming for higher education primarily in distinguished schools like the Yale University and University of Connecticut. Around the turn of the millennium, there was a good influx of Nepali students to these schools along with other private schools like University of Bridgeport and Fairfield University. Most of these students land jobs or setup businesses in small but booming cities like Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport and New Haven. And the suburbs of these cities provide a great environment to settle down and raise a family. Metro North Railroad provides a comfortable commute to New York City which attracts a lot of professionals who want to keep their career-focus while enjoying a decent family life.

Fresh resettlement of refugees in CT towns like Ansonia is adding strength to the growing Nepali community in the area. It will be great to see these Bhutanese refugees representing Nepali culture raise their families here and live the American Dream.

GetInNepal is also working on knitting this community stronger by organizing special functions during Dashain, Holi & New Year and also providing information about the area to visitors, students and professionals.
