3. HISTORY OF UKRAINIAN VILLAGE
The populations of Ukrainians in Chicago increased with four mass
immigrations during 1870-1990s brought many Ukrainians to
America.
The first mass immigration was from 1870 to 1914 and consisted of
low class workers, looking for new opportunities for work and family
life in America.
The second mass immigration, from 1920 to 1939, resulted from
Ukraine’s independence as it’s own country after the first World War.
The Ukrainians from this immigration were escaping political and
economic turmoil and were more educated than their ancestors who
had come during the first mass immigration.

4. HISTORY OF UKRAINIAN VILLAGE
By the 1930s, 5 parishes had been built to preserve Ukrainian culture
and religion.
The third mass immigration was from 1948 to 1955, after the second
World War. This mass immigration included professional, highly
educated individuals who were escaping the mess Europe was in after
the second World War and didn’t agree with the Stalinist regime.
The third mass immigration brought upon the need for more
parishes and multiple community organizations.
Parishes and organizations formed by this time included: St. Nicholas
Cathedral, Selfreliance Association of American-Ukrainians, Ukrainian
Medical Association of North America (UMANA), Sts. Volodymyr and
Olha Parish.

5. HISTORY OF UKRAINIAN VILLAGE
The final, and fourth, mass immigration was in the 1990s after the
break up of the Soviet Union which opened more boarders for
Ukrainians to come to the west.
The fourth mass immigration founded many Ukrainian cultural
events, shops, businesses, and organizations that can still be seen
today.

6. FUN FACTS
Ukrainian Village was originally a place where only senior residents
lived and now contains a wide array of demographics and cultures.
St. Nicholas Cathedral was built by I. G. Steinback and M. Ryan and
contains 13 columns which represent Jesus Christ and his 12
apostles.
The pictures on the outside of St. Volodymyr and Olha Ukrainian
Catholic Cathedral are formed together with stained glass, giving a
very vibrant and beautiful look.
Volodymyr Simenovych was the first Ukrainian in Chicago to found
“Ukrainian Village”.
