shows
Cleveland's
Czech
Cultural
Garden
,
which
honors
the
Bohemian
,
Moravian
, and
Silesian
peoples
. The
Czech
Garden
includes
busts
of
famous
Czechs
.
Shown

composer
Anton
Dvorak
(1841-1904)
and
journalist
,
author
, and
Czech
patriot
Karl
Havlicek
(1821-1856)
. This

cm)
. From the
1870s
to the
1950s
Cleveland
had
one
of the
largest
Czech
populations
in the
United
States
,
only
Chicago
and
New
York
were
home
to
more
Czech
immigrants
.
Czechs
immigrated
and
settled
in
Cleveland
in
three
distinct
waves
. The
first
major
migration
began
when
political
persecution
by the
Austrian
government
forced
many
well-educated
Czechs
to
flee
in the
mid-nineteenth
century
.
Many
who
settled
in
Cleveland
located
to the
Hill
,
Cross
, and
Commercial
streets
area
of
Cleveland
(now
part
of the
Flats)
, but then
moved
to the
country
(the
Broadway-Willson
district)
to
farm
. The
largest
wave
of
Czech
migration
occurred
between
1900
and
1914
,
prompted
primarily
by
poor
economic
conditions
in the
homeland
. At this
time
many
Czech
settled
in "
Little
Bohemia
" the
Broadway
area
from
East
37th
Street
to
Union
Avenue
.
After
World
War
I
Czech
immigration
began
to
decline
,
partly
due
to the
establishment
of a
democratic
Czechoslovakian
nation
. The
third
wave
of
migration
consisted
of
Czech
refugees
,
exiles
, and
expatriates
whose
flight
was
prompted
by the
Communist
takeover
of
Czechoslovakia
in
1948
. The
Cleveland
Cultural
Gardens
,
located
along
East
Boulevard
and
Martin
Luther
King
Jr
.
Boulevard
, are
landscaped
gardens
with
statuary
honoring
Cleveland's
ethnic
groups
.
During
the
dedication
of the
Shakespeare
Garden
in
1916
,
it
was
decided
that
similar
sites
should be
prepared
for
each
of the
city's
ethnic
communities
. The
first
of these
gardens
, the
Hebrew
garden
, was
established
in
1926
. On
May
9
,
1927
the
city
set
aside
areas
of
Rockefeller
Park
for
future
gardens
. The
Italian
,
German
,
Lithuanian
,
Slovak
, and
Ukrainian
gardens
were
established
in
1930
; the
Polish
,
Hungarian
,
Czech
, and
Yugoslav
gardens
in
1934
; and the
American
,
Russian
,
Irish
,
Greek
, and
Syrian
gardens
in
1938
.
Romanian
,
Estonian
,
Afro-American
,
Chinese
,
Finnish
, and
Indian
gardens
have
since
been
created
.
Planning
and
fundraising
for
each
garden
was
undertaken
within
the
ethnic
communities
,
while
the
Cleveland
Cultural
Garden
Federation
(established
in
1925)
oversaw
planning
and
coordinated
various
joint
programs
.
