The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Frohna is one of seven towns and villages in the area founded by German immigrants in 1839. Frohna and the others -- Altenburg, Dresden, Johannisberg, Paitzdorf, Seelitz, and Wittenberg—were all named by settlers for towns in the Saxony region of their native country.
