Immigrant Kashubians kept a distinct identity among [[Polish Canadian]]s and [[Polish American]]s.

In 1858 Polish-Kashubians emigrated to [[Upper Canada]] and created the settlement of [[Wilno, Ontario|Wilno]], in [[Renfrew County, Ontario]], which still exists. Today Canadian Polish-Kashubians return to Northern Poland in small groups to learn about their heritage.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Blank |first1=Joshua C. |title=Creating Kashubia: History, Memory and Identity in Canada's First Polish Community |date=2016 |publisher=McGill-Queen's University Press |location=Montreal & Kingston |isbn=9780773547209 |url=https://www.mqup.ca/creating-kashubia-products-9780773547209.php |access-date=12 December 2019 |archive-date=12 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191212034412/https://www.mqup.ca/creating-kashubia-products-9780773547209.php |url-status=live }}</ref>

Kashubian immigrants founded [[St Josaphat's in Chicago|St. Josaphat]] parish in Chicago's [[Lincoln Park, Chicago|Lincoln Park]] community in the late 19th century, as well as the parish of Immaculate Heart of Mary in [[Irving Park, Chicago|Irving Park]], the vicinity of which was dubbed as "[[Little Cassubia]]". In the 1870s a fishing village was established in [[Jones Island, Milwaukee|Jones Island]] in [[Milwaukee]], Wisconsin, by Kashubian [[immigrants]]. The settlers however did not hold deeds to the land, and the government of Milwaukee evicted them as squatters in the 1940s, with the area soon after turned into industrial park. The last trace of this Milwaukee fishing village that had been settled by Kashubians on [[Jones Island, Milwaukee|Jones Island]] is in the name of the smallest park in the city, ''[[Kaszube's Park]]''.<ref>[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4207/is_19950402/ai_n10191546/ A small patch of green where land and water meet]{{dead link|date=May 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
