Roma people in New York City

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is a Macedonian Romani community in New York City. Macedonian Roma began immigrating to New York City in the late 1960s.[1] Many Roma moved to New York City from other parts of the United States after relief programs were put into effect in the 1930s. Roma from Hungary went to New York after the revolution in 1956.[2]
