The influx of "new
Americans" from Italy, Germany, and other European regions added a
diverse ethnicity to the Ellwood City population. Lawrence County
continues to have the largest Italian population of any county in the
state of Pennsylvania.
The community of
Ellwood City today is blessed with a fine public school system, a
diversity of churches, safe neighborhoods, and the vast majority of
the citizens owning their own homes. |
