Die Wachau - meadow land along the river Wach
"Bishop Spangenberg chose to name the tract of land "Wachau," after the Zinzendorf family's estate in Austria. The word means "meadow along the Wach," a stream flowing through the Wachau valley in Austria. One of the branches of the Muddy Creek was ultimately called "Wach" by the Moravians, and the name of the entire tract became known as "Wachovia."
