What state has more italian population?is it florida or california? -

CaliforniaLeading Race. If it is true that the Italian race leads all others in numbers in the city of San Francisco, it is more noticeable in other counties that they have a large lead over the nationalities represented. The figures for the State of California in round numbers are as follows: Los Angeles, 18,000; San Joaquin, 15,000; Alameda, 10,000; Sacramento, 10,000; Santa Clara, 10,000; Fresno, 5,000; Sonoma, 5,000; Napa, 4,000; Humboldt, 3,500; San Diego, 3,500; Contra Costa, 3,000; Santa Barbara, 3,000; Tulare, 2,500; San Mateo, 2,000; Amador, 1,000; Marin, 1,000; Mendocino, 1,000; Merced, 1,000. These are the counties with a population of over 1,000 Italians. It is naturally the most Italian State in the Union. The Italian immediately takes hold here as nowhere else outside his own country. He finds the climate and the soil, the sunshine and the sea, the vineyards and the fishing grounds, to which he and his father have become accustomed through many generations. You have only witness a Columbus Day celebration in San Francisco to realize that this is regarded as virtually a new Italy. Columbus was an Italian. Italy made one mistake in not financing his expedition which resulted in the discovery of a new continent, but the Italian people have made no similar mistake since. They have followed up his voyage of discovery until their footing in the new world is as strong, probably, as that of any other nationality.

Hmmm I would guess between the two maybe Florida
