America has a rich history, and due to colonialism, much of this history can be traced back to European countries. There are several cities across the USA with names that mirror cities and towns found in the UK and the rest of Europe.
Likewise, there are plenty of cities and towns across the USA that still have close European ties to the people who founded these cities. Fredericksburg in Texas is an excellent example of this.
This city is bursting with German culture and in a unique blend of Southern hospitality and German cuisine, you will find some of the best food, and service, in the USA.
