Gwiazda Polarna (Polish for "Pole Star") is "America's oldest independent Polish-language newspaper." It has been published since 1908 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.[1]
Gwiazda Polarna's name appears to have arisen from an English-language play on the word "Pole," which refers to a Polish person and also appears in the name of the Pole Star (in Polish, "gwiazda polarna").
