FREDONIA TOWNSHIP
|
Brief History of FREDONIA From the Fredonia Township Website: |
| From a historic perspective, the name Fredonia most likely came from the State of New York with some of our early settlers. The name Fredonia was originated by Dr. Samuel Latham Mitchil, who served both as United States Senator and Representative from the State of New York. He first coined the word shortly after 1800 from the English word freedom with a Latin ending, with an idea of its meaning "place of freedom." Mitchill proposed it as a name for the United States, but it was never seriously considered |
