Its main routes are Troy, Brandt, Valley, Stanley, Leo and Chapel Streets. German immigrants were the first to settle in the neighborhood, then known as 'Texas' or 'Parma'. Around the turn of the 20th century, central European immigrants, predominantly Poles, Hungarians, Lithuanians and Germans, moved in as laborers and gave the neighborhoods its unique ethnic flavor represented by ethnic Roman Catholic churches, cultural festivals, social clubs, and a central European specialty restaurant, the Amber Rose. In the 2010s, the neighborhood became home to hundreds of resettled Turkish immigrants.
