Wachovia, North Carolina
Wachovia (Pronunciation: wah-KO-vee-yah) was the area first settled by Moravians in what is now Forsyth County, North Carolina, including the present city of Winston-Salem. The name is the Latin form of the German "die Wachau," the name of a lush green region along the Danube River which the settlers felt the land resembled.
