Since the late 19th century, many merchants from Western Europe (mainly from France and Italy) were established in the city. They had an important role in the social and economic life of the city and introduced new industrial techniques. Their main district was what is known today as the "Frankish district" (near [[Ladadika]]), where the Catholic church designed by [[Vitaliano Poselli]] is also situated.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kathimerini.gr/847064/article/politismos/polh/ekato-xronia-filo3enias |title=Εκατό χρόνια φιλοξενίας |date=25 January 2016 |access-date=19 April 2019 |archive-date=19 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190419094521/http://www.kathimerini.gr/847064/article/politismos/polh/ekato-xronia-filo3enias |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://parallaximag.gr/thessaloniki/i-architektoniki-istoria-tou-fragkoma |title=Η αρχιτεκτονικη ιστορία του Φραγκομαχαλά |work=Parallaxi Magazine |date=27 May 2015 |access-date=19 April 2019 |archive-date=19 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190419094524/https://parallaximag.gr/thessaloniki/i-architektoniki-istoria-tou-fragkoma |url-status=live }}</ref> A part of them left after the incorporation of the city into the Greek kingdom, while others, who were of Jewish faith, were exterminated by the [[Nazis]].

The [[Bulgarians|Bulgarian]] community of the city increased during the late 19th century.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://bnr.bg/el/post/100991207 |title=Οι Βούλγαροι στη Θεσσαλονίκη |access-date=23 May 2019 |archive-date=23 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190523181726/https://bnr.bg/el/post/100991207 |url-status=live }}</ref> The community had a Men's High School, a Girl's High School, a trade union and a gymnastics society. A large part of them were Catholics, as a result of actions by the [[Congregation of the Mission|Lazarists]] society, which had its base in the city.

Another group is the [[Armenians|Armenian]] community which dates back to the Byzantine and Ottoman periods. During the 20th century, after the [[Armenian genocide]] and the defeat of the Greek army in the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919–22)]], many fled to Greece including Thessaloniki. There is also an Armenian cemetery and an Armenian church at the centre of the city.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://parallaximag.gr/thessaloniki/chartis-tis-polis/i-thessaloniki-palia-i-panagia-ton-arme |title=Η Παναγία των Αρμενίων |work=Parallaxi Magazine |date=10 November 2012 |access-date=19 April 2019 |archive-date=19 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190419094522/https://parallaximag.gr/thessaloniki/chartis-tis-polis/i-thessaloniki-palia-i-panagia-ton-arme |url-status=live }}</ref>
