Before 1870, Armenians arrived in the United States for various reasons, with early immigrants establishing a silk industry in 1656, and the first known Armenian, Khachadour Vosganian, arriving in New York in 1834. From 1840 to 1860, students from Armenian provinces sought education in the U.S. Amid the Hamidian persecutions, massacres of 1894-1896, and the Armenian Genocide (1908-1915), Armenians fled their homeland, contributing to the diaspora. Communism in Armenia further propelled immigration.
