There were Croatian settlements in Blair co. PA (near Altoons). Many of the men workedin the limestone quarries and the women ran boardinghouses for single Croatian men. Many also worked in the brickyards in the area. Of course, Cleveland area had a large community, and the steel mills in NE Ohio had many Croatian workers. In Washington state there were many Croatian miners in Roslyn and Ronald (about 90 mins. east of Seattle). There were also Croatian miners closer to Seattle, in the SE corner of King county in towns such as Black Diamond, Carbonado, etc. (Some now small suburbs, some ghost towns.) In Anacortes, WA (the NW corner of the NW state!)there is a large Croatian community...many fishermen, since this is on the water... Also San Pedro, CA has a large Croatian community, also involved in seafaring related industry.
