Polish people first began arriving in New Zealand in significant numbers after World War II, particularly during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Many were displaced persons escaping the aftermath of the war and the Soviet influence in Eastern Europe. A notable wave of Polish immigrants settled in New Zealand following the signing of the Polish Resettlement Act in 1947, which facilitated their relocation. Before this, there were only a few Polish individuals who had arrived in the 19th century, often as part of broader European migration.
