The organization Global Detroit stated that the largest group of ethnic Albanians not in Europe is in Metro Detroit. As of 2014, 4,800 ethnic Albanians live in Macomb County, making up the fourth-largest ethnic group in that county, and the highest concentration of Albanians in Metro Detroit.〔"(India leads all nations in sending people to Detroit )" ((Archive )). ''Crain's Detroit Business''. June 1, 2014. Updated June 6, 2014. Retrieved on September 29, 2014. "Macomb has the highest current concentration of Albanian immigrants locally at 4,800, according to Global Detroit's data. That's the fourth-largest nationality of any group in the county."〕 ==History== In 1912 Albanians began arriving in the area. They had no peak migration period.〔Mayer, p. (1 ).〕 At the time there were groups in east Detroit, northwest Detroit, and Grosse Point.〔 The early settlers originated from southern Albania, but they were recorded as being from Greece, Turkey, or from the country in which they boarded their boats to the United States. Many had initially lived in New York and New England but moved to Detroit by the 1910s.〔McGinnis, p. (219 ).〕 Frances Trix, the author of ''The Sufi Journey of Baba Rexheb'', wrote that Detroit's Albanian community was more conservative than that of New York City, and that the "cohesiveness that crossed religious lines and that manifested itself in gatherings and in unusual generosity to Albanian cultural activities" was a factor special to Albanians in Detroit.〔Trix, Frances. ''The Sufi Journey of Baba Rexheb'' (UPCC book collections on Project MUSE). The University of Pennsylvania Press, September 5, 2011. ISBN 1934536547, 9781934536544. p. (128 ).〕 As of 1951 Metro Detroit had about 3,000 Albanians.〔 A wave of mass immigration came in 1992 with the breakup of Yugoslavia and it continued in the 1990s.〔 Some Catholic ethnic Albanians from Montenegro entered the United States from Mexico and settled in Detroit.〔Trix, ''Albanians in Michigan'', p.
