Arab community in Paterson, New Jersey

Paterson, New Jersey—often called "Little Ramallah"—is home to one of the largest Palestinian communities in the United States. South Paterson's Main Street could easily be mistaken for a street in Ramallah or Amman, with Arabic signs, Palestinian flags, and the smell of mana'eesh wafting from bakeries.

The Palestinian community began settling in Paterson in the 1890s, making it one of the oldest Arab communities in America. Early immigrants came from the villages around Ramallah and established a network that continues to draw new arrivals today. Families in Paterson often maintain close ties to relatives in Palestine, and the community is deeply engaged in Palestinian advocacy.

The community has grown to include Jordanians, Syrians, and Egyptians, creating a diverse Arab population. South Paterson's 6th Ward has the highest concentration of Arab residents, but Arab-owned businesses and residents can be found throughout the city.

Paterson's Palestinian character sets it apart from other Arab American communities. The focus on Palestine—its culture, its struggle, its future—infuses daily life in ways unique to this community.

Why Paterson families choose Arabic personal injury lawyers

Verified client
Sponsored my sister from Ramallah. The process took about four years, which I'm told is actually fast for siblings. My attorney handled all the USCIS correspondence and prepared my sister for her embassy interview. She's here now, living ten minutes away.

Been in the US seventeen years. Finally applied for citizenship. My lawyer caught an issue with how my name was transliterated on different documents. Fixed it before USCIS could use it as a reason to delay. Oath ceremony was last October. Proud moment.

Drunk driver hit me on Route 46. Broke my collarbone. The driver had minimal insurance. My lawyer went after my own underinsured motorist coverage and got me $118,000 total between both policies. I didn't even know I could do that.
