Polish-Americans in Western New York
People, heritage and traditions from the country of
Poland in WNY.
|
|
Poland's connection with Buffalo started back with the Holland Land Company. A partner named Peter Stadnicki had a street named after him, Stadnicki Street, which today is called Church Street. Settlers began arriving mid 19th century. The Pol-Ams community flourished and developed when St. Stanislaus Church was founded. The city of Buffalo and WNY today has a distinct Polish flavor.
