Wiconisco – Polish Row

An undated photograph of Polish Row, Wiconisco, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.

The view is from the Market Street Bridge, looking north.

Stories about this housing area include proof that African Americans who were employees of the Susquehanna Coal Company lived here among other workers in 1918, when two murders took place.

See:

The Polish Row Murders, 1918

See also a story about Mike Romisky, also a resident of Polish Row, who was killed in the mines in 1927:
