No other city in the United States is home to more Slovaks than Pittsburgh. The hills and valleys of this new land reminded newcomers of the farms, forests, and mountains they left behind. It is estimated that close to 100,000 Slovak immigrants came to the area in the 1890s looking for work and the chance for a better life.
Once settled, Slovak immigrants founded their own churches, schools, fraternal benefit societies, and social clubs. They lived in neighborhoods close to their work, forming numerous cluster communities in such places as Braddock, Duquesne, Homestead, Munhall, the North Side, Rankin, and Swissvale. Many of these organizations still enjoy an active presence in Pittsburgh today, serving to pass on the customs and traditions of the Slovak people.
Through nearly 200 photographs, Slovak Pittsburgh celebrates the lives of those Slovaks who settled in Pittsburgh and western
