==Hungarian Settlement== Historic '''Hungarian Settlement''' is in Albany. Between 1896 and 1920 hundreds of [[Hungarians|Hungarian]] immigrants settled here and named the community '''Árpádhon'''. In 1900, there were eleven families living in the Hungarian Settlement and by 1908 there were about forty Hungarian families on new farms in the area. By 1910, there were sixty-five families. In 1920, there were about two hundred families on farms in the area. The Hungarian name is derived from [[Árpád]], the leader of the Hungarian tribes and ''-hon'' meaning home. Árpádhon was the largest rural Hungarian settlement in the United States at that time with an estimated 350 Hungarian families living within the community.<ref name="Albany-2">{{cite web|author1=Fanni Kaszás|url=https://hungarytoday.hu/arpadhon-a-hungarian-settlement-in-rural-louisiana/ |title=Árpádhon, a Hungarian Settlement in Rural Louisiana|publisher=HungaryToday |accessdate=August 31, 2019}}</ref> During the 1930s many of the Hungarian families became strawberry farmers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.magyars.org/history-of-arpadhon |title=Community History |first=Victoria |last=Mocsary |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080705025729/http://www.magyars.org/Community-hist.html |archive-date=2008-07-05 |url-status=live}}</ref>
