Quoting: Philpz WHY SO MANY POLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE in Chicago? because it was such a boomtown during the turn of the century and that coincided with a massive exodus from Poland. we have just witnessed another exodus, mainly to the British Isles this time..

Randompal is right....in the mid to late 1800's, Poles came to the US. At Ellis Island NY for example, there were basically 'help wanted' posters up looking for able bodied people to come to cities to work. Chicago needed workers, and Poles fit that bill. One Pole went to Chicago, and friends and family followed thereafter. It happened in all major cities. My great grandfather, an educated violinist, came to the US in 1911 with $40 in his pockets. He needed a job, heard about a coal mine in Wilkes Barre, PA and took the train there. Northeastern PA was and still is filed with German and Polish immigrants who worked in the factories and mines.
