History

On August 14, 1919, the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in New York City was inaugurated. It was the first mission of Poland to be established in the United States.

In July 1945, Consul General Sylwin Strakacz repudiated the new communist Polish Government of National Unity, and resigned his post.

In December 1972 Poland purchased the Joseph Raphael De Lamar House at 233 Madison Avenue in Manhattan in New York City, New York, and reestablished the consulate at this location.
