People from Cuba have been immigrating to the United States for a very long time beginning around 1565 when the city of St. Augustine was established in Florida. Many Spaniards and Cubans alike moved to this city in order to make a new life. Vicente Martinez- Ybor led the way for Cuban cigar businesses by establishing his own business near Tampa, Florida. Other Cubans followed his lead and within a few years, Ybor City, as it was called, became a popular spot for Cuban businessmen and families.
