The annual street fair in the area of the town of Riverhead known as "Polish Town" is a time to eat, dance and visit the many vendors that line the streets of this community.
Naturally the local radio stations were there including WALK 97.5
And of course there was food
Polish Town is a small neighborhood settled by Polish Immigrants at the turn of the century. They came to this country for several reasons, the most important was to escape religious persecution which developed after Poland was divided among Russia, Prussia, and Austria. What is now called Polish Town was virtually unsettled prior to Polish immigration. By 1905, the Polish Town community became established.
On October 9th, 1929, the Riverhead Town Board passed a resolution sponsored by the Riverhead Polish Hall to change Cemetery Street to Pulaski Street. This coincided with the 150th anniversary of the death of General Casimir Pulaski, who died in the service of our country during the Revolutionary War.
