Croatian Fraternal Union
The Croatian Fraternal Union ((クロアチア語:Hrvatska bratska zajednica)) (CFU), the oldest and largest Croatian organization in North America, is a fraternal benefit society of the Croatian diaspora based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
== History and activities ==
In the late fall of 1893 Croatian American journalist Zdravko V. Mužina issued a call for a convention to organize a fraternal benefit society for Americans of Croatian descent. Three hundred people met in response to the call on January 14, 1894 in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. Only a handful of people signed up and paid dues to the new group. Mužina arranged for another meeting on September 2, 1894 which merged six Croatian societies into a new group, the Croatian Federation. This group changed its name to the National Croatian Society in 1897. In 1926 the National Croatian Society merged with the Croatian League of Illinois of Chicago, St. Joseph Society of Kansas City, Kansas and the New Croatian Society of Whiting, Indiana to form the Croatian Fraternal Union.〔( About CFU History )〕 In 1939 the CFU absorbed the Slovanic Croatian Union.〔Schmidt, Alvin J. ''Fraternal Organizations'' Westport, CT; Greenwood Press p.76〕
A street in Zagreb, capital of Croatia, is called ''Street of the Croatian Fraternal Union''. The National and University Library in Zagreb, one of Croatia's central cultural institutions, is located in that street. Josip Marohnić, founding father and first president of the CFU, also has a street named in his honor in Zagreb.
