Label TextThe roots of the Serbian National Federation can be traced to a meeting in McKeesport on June 15, 1900, when Serbian immigrants in Western Pennsylvania first expressed an interest in creating a national organization. In 1929, two existing Serbian societies in the Pittsburgh region merged and became the Serbian National Federation.
