Nestled in the northeast corner of the city lies the neighborhood known as Old North Dayton. Originally known as “Texas” or “Palma,” it was first settled by Germans who moved into the area in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. By the early 1900’s, it had become the home of increasing numbers of Eastern Europeans who came to fill the labor shortage created by Dayton’s rapidly expanding industries. The largest of these groups–the Poles, Hungarians, and Lithuanians–gave to the neighborhood a distinct ethnicity which persists to this day.
Throughout the years, the Germans, Hungarians, Poles, Lithuanians and other groups have continued to make ethnic traditions an important part of life in Old North Dayton. Social organizations and businesses such as the Polish Club, the Lithuanian Social Club, the German Eintracht Singing Society, the Rosenkranz Café, and the Amber Rose restaurant have all contributed to the remarkable durability of ethnicity in Old North Dayton.
It is the Eastern European ethnic churches which have been the strongest institutions for the preservation of cultural values, traditions and language. Throughout much of this century, St. Adalbert’s Polish Catholic Church, Holy Cross Lithuanian Catholic Church, and St. Stephen’s Catholic Church (Hungarian) have worked to preserve the traditions of European homelands left behind many years before.
Today, Old North Dayton continues to focus on retaining those qualities which make this neighborhood a good place to work and live. Strong churches, small family-operated businesses, and social organizations continue to give Old North Dayton a rich tradition of neighborhood unity and pride. Annual festivals, such as Old North Dayton Day and other events, offer residents and business people opportunities to come together to celebrate community and reinforce neighborhood ties... more
