Oldest US Amish settlement is in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

The Amish are descended from Swiss-German Mennonites who fled persecution in 16th century Europe.

They are known for their traditional dress, strict beliefs and rejection of modern conveniences including electricity and cars, preferring a horse and buggy.
