As Latino populations grow in new destinations such as northern Appalachia, understanding the response of institutions in the community is necessary. The primary purpose of this study is to understand the institutional response to newly established Latino populations within two counties in northern Appalachia, Mineral County, WV and Allegany County, MD. The research found no formal committee or government council that has formed in response to this growth. However, hospitals, churches and non-profit groups are beginning to respond and provide services to Latinos through providing translators and helping this population to learn English. Most institutions do not have fully developed responses to this population; therefore they cooperate with other local institutions such as local universities and non-profit organizations to meet the needs of this population. In addition to focusing on the established Latino populations within the two counties, this study also considers the role of other non-native populations living within this area and the use of recreation areas by Latinos.
