History With Hilbert | A Frisian Enclave in the USA? | Friesland Wisconsin (1881-1945) @historywithhilbert | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
The West-Frisian language is spoken in the province of Fryslân in the north of the Netherlands. But, from about 1880 onwards, a community of Frisian speakers continued to speak their language in the wilds of Wisconsin, even naming their town 'Friesland' in honour of the province of their birth. But how was this possible in the predominantly Anglophone USA?
