This map identifying ethnic neighborhoods in Cleveland appeared in the Cleveland Leader on July 22, 1896. By this date, the area of Cleveland's near east side, bordered by the Lake on the north, Payne Avenue on the south, and by East 17th and East 40th Streets on the west and east, was already recognized as a Polish neighborhood. It was later called Josephatowa after the parish that Polish immigrants founded in that neighborhood in 1908. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
