Italian immigrants first came to the area around [[Syracuse, New York]] (a city named for [[Siracusa, Sicily]]) in 1883 after providing labor for the construction of the [[West Shore Railroad]]. At first, they were quite transient and came and went, but eventually settled down on the [[Northside, Syracuse|Northside]].<ref name="salina">{{cite web|url=http://www.livingplaces.com/NY/Onondaga_County/Syracuse_City/North_Salina_Street_Historic_District.html |title=North Salina Street Historic District, Syracuse City |access-date=October 23, 2010|publisher=The Gombach Group, 2010}}</ref> By 1899, the Italian immigrants were living on the [[Northside, Syracuse|Northside]] of the city in the area centered around Pearl Street.<ref name="babies">{{cite news |title=Syracuse: Among the Babies, "Bambinos", "Kinters" and Pickininies of Syracuse |newspaper=The Syracuse Sunday Herald |location=Syracuse, NY|date=October 29, 1899 }}</ref> The Italians all but supplanted the Germans in that area of the city and had their own business district along North State and North Salina Streets.<ref name="atlantis">{{cite web|url=http://madeinatlantis.com/new_york/syracuse.htm |title=New York, Syracuse |access-date=November 3, 2010 | publisher=Atlantis, 2010}}</ref>  By September 2009, [[Little Italy, Syracuse|Syracuse's Little Italy]] district received millions of dollars of public and private investment for new sidewalks, streetscapes, landscaping, lighting and to set up a "Green Train" program, which trains men to work in green construction and renovation industries.<ref name="investment">{{cite web |url=http://www.cnycentral.com/news/story.aspx?id=355151 |title=Syracuse's Little Italy at a Tipping Point |access-date=October 23, 2010 |first=Alex |last=Dunbar |publisher=Barrington Broadcasting Group, LLC |date=September 25, 2009 |location=Syracuse, NY |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719062711/http://www.cnycentral.com/news/story.aspx?id=355151 |archive-date=July 19, 2011 }}</ref> In recent years, the neighborhood is a mix of Italian shops, restaurants and businesses that cater to the area's South Asian and African population.
