Quite a few of the
immigrants landed in Philadelphia, and in 1910
formed the Banater Männerchor. As members of the
United Worker's singing Societies of the North
Eastern States, various singing groups were
successful until the late 1940's. In 1939 after a
failed merger of all of the German Hungarian clubs,
the Club's membership decided to change names to The
United German Hungarians of Philadelphia and
Vicinity. In 1946, a country property was acquired,
and in 1965, the present clubhouse in Oakford,
Bensalem Township, became the permanent home.
