The first largest group of Amish arrived in America around 1730 and settled near Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The Amish are known for simple living, plain dress, and reluctant to adopt any modern technology. The Pennsylvania Amish are not the biggest group of United States Amish as is commonly thought. The Amish have settled in as many as twenty-four states, Central America, and Canada. Although many have settled in various locations, about 80% of the Mennonite and Amish are located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The greatest concentration of Amish is in Holmes and adjoining counties in northeast Ohio. Next in size is a group of Amish people in Elkhart and surrounding counties in northeastern Indiana. Then comes the Amish and Mennonite settlement in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The Amish population exceeds more than 150,000 and growing. The Amish have large families averaging 5 - 7 children.
