The narrative explores Kearny's rich multicultural heritage, beginning with the influx of immigrants in 1875 when Scottish mills attracted workers. Over the years, various groups, including Swedes, Lithuanians, Italians, Jewish families, and Japanese settlers, contributed to the town's development. The establishment of community institutions like Our Lady of Sorrows Church and local businesses reflects the diverse cultural tapestry that has shaped Kearny into an iconic representation of immigration and multiculturalism in America.
