The Middle Colonies, consisting of the present-day states of New York, Pennsylvania, the three counties of Delaware, and Maryland were characterized by a large degree of diversity - religious, political, economic, and ethnic. Many Dutch and Irish immigrants settled in these areas (also moving into Long Island and Connecticut); the Pennsylvania Dutch would stand out as a unique ethnic group.
