The Hungarian Settlement Historical Marker, located in Albany, Louisiana, commemorates the largest rural Hungarian settlement in the United States, known as the Arpadhon area. Established in 1896 following the attraction of settlers to Charles Brakenridge's lumber mill, the community focused on farming, particularly strawberries, on cut-over timber land.
Erected in 1975 by the Louisiana Tourist Development Commission, this marker highlights significant historical themes such as agriculture and settlement patterns. Visitors can find the marker at the junction of State Highway 43 and Interstate 12, surrounded by several other historical sites within a short distance.
