Administrative history
The Hungarian Club of Kingston was established in 1957 to assist new Hungarian immigrants to Kingston, and formed in the wake of the Hungarian uprising against the Soviet Union in 1956. The Club served as a social outlet for Hungarian families, holding monthly dances and other events. The Club received its charter as an incorporated nonprofit organization in 1964. In 1971, the Club was a founding member of the Kingston and District Folk Arts Council, and took part ion the inaugural Folklore festival. At its peak, the Club counted 65 families as part of its membership, dwindling over time as immigration patterns changed and families moved away from Kingston. The Club disbanded in 2008.
