HISTORY OF HUNGARIAN-AMERICANS IN CLEVELAND
|
1852 |
Louis Kossuth, exiled Governor of Hungary, arrived in Cleveland on February 2nd. He went to Columbus on the 6th,
and addressed the state legislature and met with Governor Wood.
Afterwards, on his way to Cincinnati, he stopped at various locations
such as Xenia, Springfield, Dayton, and Hamilton. He stayed in
Cincinnati for 16 days and on the 26th of February left for Indiana. |
|
1888 |
A health benefit and funeral association, The Count Batthyany
Association, was founded in Cleveland, Ohio. It was named after the
martyred Hungarian Premier of 1848. |
|
1896 |
The Hungarian language newspaper Szabadsag (Liberty) was
founded in Cleveland by Tihamer Kohanyi. It started out as a weekly,
but as circulation increased, it developed into the first daily
Hungarian American newspaper. |
|
1897 |
The first Hungarian Catholic parish, St Elizabeth's, was started by
Charles Bohm in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1894, he also founded the weekly
newspaper Catholic Hungarians' Sunday (Magyar Katolikus Vasarnapja). |
|
1898 |
Hungary celebrated her millennium as a nation. Hungarian millennium
festivities were held all over America to commemorate the 1000 years of
the existence of Hungary as a state. The most important ones were at
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; San Francisco, California; Buda, Georgia;
Bridgeport, Connecticut; and Cleveland, Ohio. |
|
1904 |
The United Hungarian Societies was formed in 1902 with the mission
to erect the statue of Louis Kossuth in Cleveland as an expression of
the high esteem in which Hungarians in America held Kossuth. On
September 27th, the bronze statue was erected in University
Circle among great fanfare and parades with participation by other
nationalities, especially the Italian community of Cleveland, in
recognition of the support that Hungarians and Kossuth gave Garibaldi
and Mazzini in the Italian drive for national unification. The governor
of Ohio, Mr. Nash, spoke at the unveiling ceremonies. The United
Hungarian Societies continues to function today as an umbrella
organization composed of most of the Hungarian oriented churches, clubs
and organizations in the Greater Cleveland area. |
|
1927 |
The first history of Hungarian-Americans was published in Hungarian by the Szabadsag newspaper in Cleveland. Written by Geza Kende, it was entitled Magyarok Amerikaban, Az amerikai magyarsag tortenete 1583-1927
(Hungarians in America: The History of Hungarians in America,
1583-1927). Kende’s two-volume, 874-page book deserves much credit for
his painstaking original research. |
|
1942 |
During the Second World War, records indicate that over 50,000
Hungarians were serving in the United States Armed Forces. Mrs. John
Hegedus of Cleveland received a banner from the mayor of Cleveland
