Not many folks know about Biddefords Albanian population: Most - TopicsExpress



          

Not many folks know about Biddefords Albanian population: Most died from Spanish-Flu. However, their decision to work in the textile mills adds an interesting wrinkle to the history of our city. In fact, many historians say that the first functional mosque in the United States was right here in Biddeford! If you ever have a chance, you should visit Woodlawn Cemetery and try to find where many of the Albanians were buried (hint: they have the plot with the headstones facing the direction of the setting sun)!
