| Abstract | Among the most distinctive of. . .large clustered German settlements in Wisconsin is one that has been known at least since 1898 as the 'Holyland. This district, which is located primarily in Fond du Lac County and partially in Calumet County, comprises several rural German Catholic communities that are connected by religion and place of origin. With place names such as Johnsburg, Mount Calvary, Marytown, St. Peter, St. Cloud, St. Anna, St. Joe, Calvary, and Jericho, there is little mystery on the surface about why the district bears the nickname 'Holyland'. . . . While the name implies that religious beliefs and practices are key to the region's identity, this is only one of many factors, which include a wide range of social, cultural, political, and even economic elements." |
