Located in Albany, Louisiana, Hungarian Settlement is known as the largest rural Hungarian settlement in the United States. Established in 1896, settlers were drawn to the area by the presence of Charles Brakenridge's lumber mill, purchasing cut-over timber land to cultivate farms and grow strawberries.
This historical marker, erected in 1975 by the Louisiana Tourist Development Commission, commemorates the rich agricultural heritage and pioneering spirit of the Hungarian community in this region.
