Boston Lithuanians at the St. Peter 100 year Jubilee Celebration - 2004

The Boston Lithuanian

Lithuanians began arriving in Boston around 1880 – 1890, with a dramatic influx around 1904. Some Lithuanian immigrants were fleeing conscription in the Russian Army,  others were fleeing persecution for participation in revolutionary activities in 1905. Still others came to America looking for jobs. Some returned home after saving up what they needed, but most found a home here and stayed. A second wave of immigrants arrived after World War II, around 1949-1951. The third wave of immigrants continues to increase the Lithuanian population in the Boston area.
