Below is a list of all the Dominican congregations founded in the United States between 1850 and 1950. They are listed by order of their acceptance into the Order as new foundations. Women from the monastery founded in by Saint Dominic in Prouille, France in 1206 were sent on mission to Ratisbon, Bavaria to found HolyCross convent in 1235. Four women from Ratisbon were sent to New York and established Holy Cross in Brooklyn in 1855. That foundation in turn sent women on mission to other parts of the United States that resulted in several new foundations. Eleven Dominican congregations in the United States, including the Mission San Jose Dominicans, trace their roots to Ratisbon, now known as Regensburg (starred below).
