Croatian (CFU) Lodge No. 522 - West Pittsburg PA

In 1894 the Croatian Association, a fraternal organization to celebrate the culture of the Croatian and other ethnic peoples from the associated Yugoslavian states, was established in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This organization went through various mergers and became the Croatian Fraternal Union of America (CFU) in 1926. Numerous lodges were established across the country. Somewhere along the way – possibly in about 1941 – Lodge No. 522 was established in a hall on 12th Street in West Pittsburg. It is still in operation today. (Feb 2016)
