1. This area was settled by immigrants.
We are all immigrants, anyway. Not just in the abstract, distant past, but in a real, current way. I'm only in my thirties, but can remember very well that German worship services were offered here not long ago. It's not unusual to hear people talk about the German settlement in everyday conversation. If you're new to town, ask someone to share with you some of the surnames of people in your building or neighborhood that are part of those families, and likely related to hundreds of other people.
