The large majority of Globeville's original residents were residents were European immigrants, and among them several groups were distinctive. The German-speaking group came not from Germany, which they had left in the eighteenth century, but from prairies along the Volga. These Volga-Deutsch, as they were called, arrived in the tempestuous years before and after the Russo-Japanese War. The Poles were also a sizeable cohesive group, and Slovenians, Croatians, and Serbs from the area known as Yugoslavia came in considerable numbers, especially during the period of the Balkan Wars before World War I. In descending numerical order there were also a few Russian. Slovak, Czech, and "Carpatho-Russian" families. (DFD) |
