Immigration history

St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church of Bellaire, Texas

The immigration of Copts to the United States started as early as the late 1940s. After 1952, the rate of Coptic immigration from Egypt to the United States increased. The first Coptic church in the United States is St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church, which was established in the late 1960s in Jersey City.

As of 2013, researchers estimated that there were about 350,000 Copts who settled in the United States before the 2011 Egyptian revolution, with up to 100,000 additional Copts who settled in the U.S. after the revolution, fleeing instability and violence in Egypt.[2] Many came to the U.S. on grants of asylum.[2] The new post-2011 migrants to the United States included both educated middle-class Copts and poorer, more rural Copts.[2] As of 2018, it was estimated that a half-million Copts lived in the United States.[1]

The historic centers of Coptic American life have been in New York, New Jersey, and Southern California.[2]

In the 1990s, there were more than 50 Coptic congregations in the United States; by 2018, there were more than 250 Coptic congregations in the United States.[1]
