[3] On 14 December 1904 the First Hungarian Evangelical & Reformed Church on West End in (Delray) Detroit, MI was organized.
The Delray-Springwells area served as the "Little Hungary" of Detroit and Michigan's Hungarian culture was centered in that community.
[5] After World War I a second wave of Hungarian refugees, who escaped due to religious and political reasons, arrived.
However Detroit's Historic Places of Worship stated that "strong community ties and the relative betterment of daily life kept them in America.
[13] The center and the American Hungarian Reformed Church in Allen Park host cultural and social events.
Beynon wrote that "Practically every Hungarian of Detroit who has not broken away entirely from the people of his own nationality is connected in some way with one or more of these societies or clubs.
"[14] A former editor of the Detroiti Ujság, Dr. Charles Földy, stated that "These clubs make up the varied life of our colony.
"[14] Beynon wrote that the clubs exercise the social control previously enforced by village groups back in Hungary.
The women's club, which held card parties, lectures, and musical programs, had offices on West Jefferson Avenue.
[18] Women from Hungarian and Finnish houses opened social groups for both sexes such as political, benevolent, and sports groups; women from the ethnicities often had more encouragement to attend high school and further education compared to Italians and Macedonians.
"[19] Historically Hungarians in Detroit celebrated "Day of Sorrow" on October 16, a tribute to the 1848 hangings of 13 generals.
