Circassian Americans (Adyghe: Адыгэ Американхэр; Kabardian: Адыгэ Американхэр) are Circassians living in the United States. They are mostly found in New York, California, and New Jersey, and their numbers are estimated to be between 8,000 and 15,000. The largest established community of Circassian Americans resides in the state of New Jersey, particularly in Passaic and Bergen counties. The Circassian Benevolent Association, the umbrella organization of US Circassians, is located in New Jersey. There is also a Circassian community in Canada, and the Circassian Benevolent Association has a branch there.
