Moravian settlement

A Moravian settlement refers to a community established by Moravians, a Protestant Christian group originating from what is now the Czech Republic in the 15th century. Known for their emphasis on education, music, and communal living, they migrated to various parts of the world, including North America, during the 18th century. Moravian settlements often featured well-planned towns with religious, educational, and social institutions, aimed at creating a harmonious and devout community. These settlements played a significant role in fostering religious tolerance, cultural development, and early social organization in the regions where they were established.
