A Background on Bradenton and Manatee County’s Immigrant Communities

The neighborhoods in Bradenton have seen a growth in population. Hispanic communities have planted their roots, with most families coming from Mexico and Central America. Immigrants from Haiti and Jamaica have moved to Bradenton, contributing a vibrant Caribbean culture. A growing number of Asian immigrants now call the area home and bring fresh skills to several local industries.

Manatee County thrives because of the efforts of working immigrants. They power the agricultural sector by expanding local plant nurseries and beautifying neighborhoods with landscaping services. The county’s tourism becomes more sustainable because the immigrants work hard to keep hotels, resorts and vacation rentals running smoothly on Anna Maria Island.
