Pal
Esterházy founded a colony of Hungarians on the Canadian Prairies
in 1896. His dream was to establish a "new Hungary" in Canada’s far west.
The town of Esterhazy, Saskatchewan, which bears his name today, is geographically
located near the largest potash mine in the world. This view of Count Pal
Esterházy was taken, circa, 1890. He died in New York City in 1912.
