List of city and town twinning between Portugal and the USA

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of city and town twinning between Portugal and the United States lists the town and town twinning between Portugal and the United States .

So far, 49 partnerships of this type exist or are being sought (as of 2012). The first Portuguese-US-American friendship was established in 1970 between Ponta Delgada , capital of the Portuguese Azores Islands , and the Californian town of San Leandro . The long Portuguese-US-American history is often a point of reference for town twinning in general. In particular, the Portuguese city friendships on the east coast, in California and on Hawaii have their origins in the historical immigration of Portuguese seafarers mainly from the Azores and Madeira to the USA and the Portuguese communities that have developed there today.
