Despite the discrimination and intolerance that they faced, Ohio Jews succeeded in creating productive lives for themselves. During the late 1800s and the early 1900s, most Jewish immigrants settled in either Cincinnati or Cleveland. Other large Ohio cities also experienced an influx of Jewish migrants, but the numbers were significantly smaller than those Jews flocking to Cincinnati and Cleveland.
The next significant wave of Muslim immigrants began in the mid-19th century. During the late 19th century until the 1920s, large numbers of Arabs, mostly from Lebanon and Greater Syria, arrived in the United States. Although the majority of these immigrants (almost 90%) were Arab Christians, there were sizable clusters of Muslims, most of whom settled in the Midwest. Mohammed Alexander Russell Webb, an early American convert to Islam, established a mosque and mission in New York City in 1893.
