Syracuse's Northside has a rich cultural and historical tradition, starting with the Haudenosaunee. In the 19th century, the neighborhood was settled by German immigrants, followed by an influx of Italians. Little Italy and cultural landmarks such as Assumption Church and Columbus Bakery are reminders of the rich cultural history of the area. The Northside's business districts are being revitalized and neighborhood groups work to help enhance city living and assist residents struggling with unemployment and poverty.
Today, the neighborhood has become home to people from all over the world, representing various languages, cultures and ethnicities. New Americans from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Burma, Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam and Eastern Europe make the neighborhood a dynamic area.
