Romani people have lived and travelled throughout the state of New York.[1]Muslim Romani people from southern Yugoslavia settled in the Bronx. An increase in attacks on Romani people in eastern Europe brought growing numbers of Romani refugees to New York City during the 1990s. Roma in Greater New York are mainly descended from liberated slaves and are known as theVlax Roma, during the first four decades of the twentieth century. The majority ofVlax Roma in Manhattan belonged to theKalderash subgroup. TheMachvaya who came from Serbia settled in Brooklyn but they moved after World War II to Manhattan in increasing numbers. TheLovari, from Hungary, settled inNewark, New Jersey.[2]
