Small friendly group meeting informally from time to time.

The site also offers a directory of Orange County Hungarians, photos, links, online resources about the history of Hungary, shopping in Hungary, recipes and learning Hungarian.

In 1922, the Banater Athletic Club organized. Even in the early years, soccer teams made great strides. In 1939 after a failed merger of all of the German Hungarian clubs, the Club’s membership decided to change names to The United German Hungarians of Philadelphia and Vicinity. In 1946, a country property was acquired, and in 1965, the present clubhouse in Oakford, Bensalem Township, became the permanent home. Along with Soccer, dance has always been an important part of the Club’s social life. Throughout the years those in charge have brought not only cultural and ethnic music and performers, but also popular entertainment to the Club. The youth of the Sport Club soon started to perform various German, Austrian and Hungarian dances.

The Hungarian Cultural Association is a student-run organization at Indiana University. The HCA organizes programs and events for students of the Hungarian language and Hungarian Studies. The group is comprised of both Americans and Hungarians alike, and our membership includes undergraduates, grad students, and community members.

The Bartok Bela Hungarian School of Boston — Boskola for short — was established in 2000. The school is made up of 65 students from 40 different families, with the students divided into eight groups with ten teachers according to their respective age groups and language skills (as of last school year). The school reaches children from ages three to eighteen. In 2003, an additional program was added: the Bodnar Gabor scout troop, which has become an excellent complement to the school’s programs, and which aims primarily to improve students’ knowledge and familiarity of Hungarian culture.

Serve as a forum of discussion of questions of current importance, to foster good fellowship between club members for a continuing appreciation of the heritage of Hungary.

As recently as the turn of the 20th century, only a small number of Hungarians lived in Boston: emigration waves brought few settlers to this region.
