History
The settlement was established in 1949 by Romanian immigrants who named it after the chicory plants that grew abundantly in the surrounding lands. This founding moment shaped the community's character from its beginning.

Residents here maintain farming traditions and share common workspaces and community gathering places that shape daily life. These shared spaces serve as focal points for regular meetings and agricultural cooperation among families.
