I doubt that's the "official" flag. I doubt that Jessup even has an official flag. The borough's website makes no mention of one. What was shown is a generic banner placed on utility poles. A photo on the website shows this, and the banner says "Welcome to Jessup".

immigration

I don't have the stats on this, but from what I know about the town (my father and grandfather were born there), the first wave of immigrants in the 1890s were from Austria-Hungary (Galicia and Hungary). They were Slovak, Polish, Rusyn, Hungarian, and a few Jewish. Later, around 1915 or so, the Italians came. When the flu epidemic of 1919 hit, the Italians did not have a cemetery of their own and had to use the side of St. Michael's (Slovak) cemetery to bury their dead. The site of the Italian graves is here: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=jessup,+pa&hl=en&ll=41.471118,-75.555857&spn=0.000584,0.000831&sll=38.883585,-77.003672&sspn=0.009705,0.013304&hnear=Jessup,+Lackawanna,+Pennsylvania&t=h&z=20

I don't know enough about Wiki's editing rules and sourcing to change this, but this article implies that Jessup's immigrants were all (or majority) Italian, and this is not the case. They're just louder. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.33.64.5 (talk) 20:41, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
