Florida
Florida became a state on March 3, 1845. Prior to statehood, it was known as the Territory of Florida (or Florida Territory) between 1822–1845.
According to the survey, descendants of Germans from Russia first arrived in 1926. First generation descendants from the Bessarabian colony of Beresina settled in Tampa, Florida.
There were immigrant Germans from Russia reported to have lived in Florida, but it appears they arrived later after having lived elsewhere first. There were also first, second, third, fourth and fifth generation descendants living there at some point.
