At the turn of the 20th century, the village became home to Hungarian, Croation, and Italian immigrants, as well as refugees fleeing the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
Many immigrants moved to the neighborhood to work for Buckeye Steel Castings. Commercial establishments thrived on Parsons Avenue. New architecture sprang up, which included Queen Anne and Dutch Colonial styles. The 111-year old Hungarian Reformed Church, established in 1906, served as the neighborhood hub.
The neighborhood flourished through the 1930s, 40s, and into the 60s before falling victim of decline. In 1973, Rev. Zoltan Szabo of the Hungarian Reformed Church proposed that the area become known at “Hungarian Village,” in the spirit of nearby German Village. The Hungarian Village Society Civic Association was formed in 1975 to represent residents in the restoration of Hungarian Village.
The Hungarian Village Society is still an active organization representing the residents of Hungarian Village. They meet the second Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. at Tara Hall, 274 E. Innis Avenue.
