Historically, the North End has been one of Waterbury's most heavily populated Italian neighborhoods/sections, together with Town Plot. It was the center of Italian immigration which came up the road from New York City. Many Italian businesses, restaurants, delis and families were established in the area as well as St. Lucy's School, which was one of the only Italian speaking schools in the USA. In the present day it is home to the Pontelandolfo Community Club, named after the Italian town of "Pontelandolfo". Many events are centered on "The Ponte Club" including a week long festival in August which draws crowds from as far away as Philadelphia and Montreal. The community is active and involved in the well-being of the neighborhood as a whole. Within the last 40 years the North End has become home to a large African American and Hispanic population. Most of the hispanic residents hail from Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic. There is also a growing number of Jamaican residents in the area. .
