While the area around Broadway and East 55th was at one point a mixture of Polish and Czechoslovakian immigrants, around the turn of the century a large population of Czechs moved to the adjacent area of Fleet and East 55th. The area came to be known as Karlin after a saloon owner who helped to settle the area. This movement, along with growing populations, led to the establishment of St. John Nepomucene Church in the Karlin area. | Date: ca. 2015 | Source: Danielle RoseDownload Original File
