Old North Dayton, Dayton, Ohio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Located northeast of downtown Dayton, Old North Dayton sits between The Great Miami and Mad Rivers. German immigrants were the first to settle in the neighborhood, then know as 'Texas' or 'Parma'. Around the turn of the century, Eastern European immigrants, predominately Poles, Hungarians, and Lithuanians, moved in as laborers and gave the neighborhoods its unique ethnic flavor represented by ethnic Roman Catholic churches, cultural festivals, social clubs, and an Eastern European specialty restaurant, the Amber Rose.
Points of interest in the neighborhoods include the Amber Rose, St Adalbert’s Catholic Church (Polish), St. Stephen’s Catholic Church (Hungarian), Holy Cross Catholic Church (Lithuanian), and the historic Kossuth Colony.
Ohio State Routes 201 and 202 provide access to downtown Dayton, Riverside, and Huber Heights. Ohio State Route 4 provides quick access to Interstate 75 and Interstate 675.
