Batei Ungarin was established in 1891 by immigrant
Hungarian Jews. By
World War I, there were 100-200 homes (350 by 1948), a synagogue, a
beit midrash, and a
mikveh. The original inhabitants of the neighborhood came from Hungary, and many of the residents who live there today can trace their lineage to Hungary. A major
Hasidic group called
Toldos Aharon has its headquarters on the edge of Batei Ungarin. In 2008, the neighborhood had one of the highest proportions of children up to age 15 in the country, accounting for 51% of its residents.{{cite web |last= מאיה |first= חושן|date= 15 June 2008|title= מבנה גילים בשכונות ==References==
