This history tells the story of a small group of Polish immigrants and their families who created a Polish enclave in New Kent County, Virginia beginning in 1915. Their settlement was along what is today Polish Town Road. They were truck farmers and founded a Polish Roman Catholic Church, St. John Kanty and Cemetery. Only the church's cemetery were many of the original settlers and their children are buried.
