Va.. just 1 year after the founding of this historic town. That is the first landmark of Poles in America. and I am indeed glad that its 350th anniversary is being celebrated this year. We do not know with certainty how many Poles were in that immigrant first group. probably they were not more than a handful. It is said that they were brought here "as experts and instructors in the manufacture of glass and pitch. tar and other products" which Poland exported to England in those days. Near Jamestown they built a glass furnace. and in a short time they were able to send to England the first samples of their work. these were the first products of American industry.
