In the early 1800s, Rhinelanders settled the Missouri Rhineland, a German cultural region and wine producing area in the U.S. State of Missouri, and named it after noticing similarities in soil and topography to the Rhineland in Europe. By 1860, nearly half of all settlers in Missouri Rhineland came from Koblenz, capital of the Rhine Province.
