Pueblo in southern Colorado represents one of the many cities in American West which owes its development to the development of railroads and roads and industries. Fast development of industry, especially after 1880 caused mass immigration, especially from Italy and Austria- Hungary. Number of inhabitants of Pueblo grew fast, from 3,217 in 1880 to 45,444 in 1910. The percentage of foreign born and their children in the city grew to 41.13% in 1910. According to the U.S. census data of 1910 there lived in Pueblo approximately 2,400 immigrants and their children with Slovene mother tongue. Most of them were from Dolenjska, Bela krajina and Notranjska. They settled in southeastern part of the city, in Grove and Bessemer in the Ward 6. They represented in the Precinct 2 more then half of all population, in Precinct 3 more than one quarter of all population. In the beginning of the 20th century in Pueblo the largest Slovene settlement in the U.S. West developed. Slovenes are still present in Pueblo today. Americans and older immigrants called Slovene immigrants Bojons . In the beginning of the 20th century it meant an offensive word; in the beginning of the 21st century it is used as a compliment when the others in Pueblo with this word describe inhabitants of Slovene ancestry as well as the other people from South Slavic landsPueblo v južnem Koloradu je eno od mnogih mest na ameriškem zahodu, katerega razcvet sta spodbudila razvoj prometnega omrežja in industrije. Razvoj industrije je po letu 1880 izzval množično priseljevanje, zlasti iz Italije in Avstro-Ogrske. Število prebivalcev je hitro naraščalo, od 3.217 leta 1880 na 45.444 leta 1910. Delež zunaj ZDA rojenih priseljencev in njihovih potomcev v mestu se je do leta 1910 povzpel na 41,13 odstotka. Po podatkih popisa je leta 1910 v Pueblu živelo okoli 2.400 priseljencev in njihovih potomcev s slovenskim maternim jezikom. Večina se jih je priselila iz Dolenjske, Bele krajine in Notranjske in se naselila v jugovzhodnem delu mesta, v Grovu in Bessemerju v šesti mestni četrti. Tam so v drugem precinctu (najnižji števni enoti) sestavljali skoraj polovico vsega prebivalstva, v tretjem precinctu pa dobro četrtino. V Pueblu se je tako v začetku 20. stoletja razvila največja slovenska naselbina na ameriškem zahodu, v kateri se je prisotnost Slovencev obdržala vse do današnjih dni. Američani in starejši priseljenci so slovenske priseljence imenovali Bojons. V začetku stoletja je ta izraz pomenil žaljivko, v 21. stoletju pa ga prebivalci drugih narodnosti v Pueblu uporabljajo kot kompliment, ko z njim označujejo prebivalce slovenskega porekla pa tudi drugih porekel prebivalstva, ki je izhajalo iz južnoslovanskih pokrajinTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaInštitut za narodnostna vprašanja
