Cortland, NY unlike some of the smaller Upstate industrial towns did not historically have Ukrainians dating from Ellis Island days (one story went that they were shipped to Binghamton during the Palmer Red Raids), but much more recently has become home to a community of Ukrainian Pentecostals.
Auburn, a smaller city about 25 miles west of Syracuse, has a Ukrainian National Club on that city's NW side. Many are concentrated on Syracuse's West Side and Western suburbs.
Here is a Ukrainian Catholic School across from the Ukrainian National Club in Auburn: Welcome - Ss. Peter and Paul School Some towns outside of Auburn like Throop, Sennett and Owasco were noted in that ancestry list.
Yes, Syracuse has a long history of Ukrainians. Communities in the town of Geddes(Westvale and including the village of Solvay) and into the town of Camillus has some.
Here's a cultural school on Syracuse's West Side too: Lesia Ukrainka School It is ironically located on Tipperary Hill, a mostly or highly Irish American neighborhood that has a noticeable Ukrainian presence.
Richfield Springs and Deerfield in the Utica-Rome metro area and Elmira Heights in the Elmira metro were also on that list.
Wow! I never realized upstate New York cities had such large Ukrainian populations.
I have a few relatives who live in Brooklyn and Long Island, NY. I got the impression that a lot of ex-Soviet Union people lived around that area. However, it somehow didn't occur to me to inquire about other parts of the state.
Thanks ckhthankgod for the list of schools. It's nice to see the words "Lesia Ukrainka" and "school" together somewhere in the United States. I vaguely remember my parents taking me to a Ukrainian Saturday school here in Los Angeles when I was little. I wonder if it's the same one that was on that list.
Minneapolis has a Ukrainian cultural center, a Ukrainian youth club and even a Ukrainian credit union. Northeast Minneapolis (pronounced "Nordeast" by the old-timer ethnic folks there) has 2 Ukrainian Catholic Churches. Also, I remember traveling to Thunder Bay, Ontario several years ago and finding myself in a Ukrainian neighborhood.

That's interesting... I thought most people in Minneapolis were of Scandinavian decent. Do you know what neighborhoods those places are in? Are they all in the Northeast somewhere?
Cool web site. I was surprised to see West Hollywood as one of the cities with a large Ukrainian population. I've been there many times, but I'd say most of the people I've met were mostly Russian or Armenian. What I would like to find is more of a dense Ukrainian community.
I've actually heard a lot about Canada having a large population. Do you know where I can find more specific information about that? Like what exact cities have the largest diasporas? What are those communities like? Are there any particular places of interest worth visiting there as a tourist?
I've never been to Canada so I can't give you specific informations but if you look at the wikipedia page for Ukrainian Canadian, you'll find a lot of informations.
The metropolitan regions with the largest Ukrainian populations in Canada are:

The metropolitan regions with the largest Ukrainian populations in Canada are:
- Vegreville, Alberta (41%)
- St. Paul, Alberta (town) (31%)
- St. Paul County, Alberta (26%)
I'm really surprised by their presence in western Canada, they're the fourth or fifth largest ancestry behind English, German and Scottish.
Nice link. I've never been to Canada either (not counting the times I've changed planes at the airport), but I've always heard about there being a big population. I'm pretty surprised by it myself.
I'm thinking of starting a separate thread in the Canada forum. Any additional information on the topic is still welcome!
