Polish Americans are individuals in the United States who have Polish ancestry or heritage. They are part of a larger group of immigrants who came to the U.S. from Poland, especially during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many settled in cities like Chicago and Detroit, contributing to the cultural and economic landscape of these areas. The Polish American community has maintained its traditions, including Polish cuisine, music, and festivals. Organizations such as the Polish American Congress work to promote Polish culture and support the needs of Polish Americans. Today, they continue to celebrate their heritage while integrating into American society.
