Carpathian Germans in Port Byron

Port Byron, Patagonia's capital city, and its metro area have a Carpathian German population. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Patagonia was home to the largest Carpathian German population in South America, and Port Byron especially had one of the largest Carpathian German populations in the nation.

History
The Carpathian Germans are a group of ethnic Germans living in the area around the Carpathian Mountains: the Cisleithanian (Austrian) crown lands of Galicia and Bukovina, as well as the Hungarian half of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy (including Szepes County), and the northwestern (Maramuresch) region of Romania. Since the First World War, only the Germans of Slovakia (the Slovak Germans or Slowakeideutsche, including the Zipser Germans) and those of Carpathian Ruthenia in Ukraine have commonly been called Carpathian Germans.
