Do you know where the Amish live in the US and Canada?
They probably live in more areas that you realize.
Many people think of the Amish living in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and these states do have the largest populations of Amish.
Since I have Amish ancestry I have done a lot of research through the years into where they have lived.
It is a lot easier today to find out where the Amish live due to the great work of the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College.
There are currently Amish settlements in 32 states as of 2022.
Here is a closer look at where Amish settlements were in 2022. See: Map of Amish Counties 2022
I first created the state map back in 2013 for my post Amish States. You can see that the only change is the addition of Vermont and New Mexico
There are also seven states where Amish have lived in the past, but where they no longer have settlements. I have written about settlements in three of those states.
See:
There are also Amish in four provinces of Canada. The most recent province where Amish have settled is Manitoba.
See: Amish Provinces
The Amish continue to look for new places to settle as their population rapidly increases, and I would not be surprised to see a few more states or provinces added to the map in the next years.
Do you live near an Amish settlement?
