context_page_description: Turkish Americans are Americans of Turkish descent or origin. About 25,000 to 50,000 Turks came to the United States between 1890 and 1924, most of them male peasants from both the European and Asian areas of Turkey. They largely settled to Industrial centers such as Detroit, Boston, and smaller mill towns in Massachusetts, such as Lowell and Salem.
