Romanians in Chicago: the heart of Romanian America

If you had to pick one American city to meet Romanians in, it would be Chicago. Cook County, which includes the city, has around 11,600 Romanian immigrants according to 2017–2021 estimates — more than any other county in the United States. Romanian Tribune, a newspaper for Americans of Romanian heritage, is published here too.

A big community, but a scattered one

Chicago's Romanians have churches, associations, celebrations and restaurants serving food from home. But the city is huge, and the community is spread across neighbourhoods and suburbs. You could live for years a few stops away from someone from your grandparents' village and never find out.
