In the USA, the Cornish are found in large numbers in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and California, where mining was very important, but are everywhere throughout the country. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and other states of the midwest were common destinations for farmers. In Canada, Ontario was the most common destination, and many went to South Africa, as well as mining districts in Latin America, such as the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. Massive emigration to Australia, especially South Australia, and New Zealand took place, and Moonta, South Australia is still known as ''Little Cornwall''. In many countries, particularly Australia and Canada (especially Ontario) towns and cities have been given the name of the towns and villages of Cornwall. | In the USA, the Cornish are found in large numbers in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and California, where mining was very important, but are everywhere throughout the country.
