The Society Farsharotu was the first Aromanian association in the United States and it was founded in 1903 by Nicolae Cican and other Aromanian emigrants from Albania, the north of Greece and Serbia.[7][5] The Aromanians are divided into several subgroups, one of them being the Farsherots, whose name comes from the village of Frashër in Albania.[8] The Society Farsharotu publishes The Newsletter of the Society Farsharotu twice a year. It is available on the website of the association.[4]
