1935 Poles March from Tremont to Downtown

Subject

Ethnicity
Politics

Description

Tremont has been a vibrant ethnic community since the 1860s when immigrants came from Europe to Cleveland for labor. Poles settled in Tremont and worked at the factories nearby. They remained the dominant ethnic population in the neighborhood throughout the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The community displayed a strong sense of identity and pride demonstrated here by a march from Tremont to downtown Cleveland in 1935 by the Alliance of Poles. The Poles wanted to show their national pride and ethnic parades were common. The neighborhood today still retains a Pole population and heritage.
