History
The Natives
The first settlement in the area of modern day Vienna was founded in the year 905 B.C.E making it the oldest established settlement in the area. The city was first established by Native Cascadians (Iroquoian Tribe) and called their city Conaquanosshan. During the spring of 1002, Conaquanosshan was swept away in a flood and leaving the natives homeless. The Iroquoians fled the area in search for better land.
New Beginnings
It is unknown how the German language made its way to the region. There is no documentation of any Germanic tribe ever stepping foot into the Danube Valley prior to the 1600's. Without any records of the actual founding of a city remotely close to Vienna, they go with the founding of Conaquanosshan as they had found burials and mounds left by the Natives. Nonetheless, the city that would become Vienna was first recognized by Iroquoian Tribes in 1204.
"An der Schönen Blaunen Donau"
Vienna kept to itself and was a very reserved city, rarely ever reaching out to the outside world. Vienna was then contacted by Dutch explorers in 1632 (the same year other Dutch explorers settled in Tulpfloerdam). These Dutchmen settled in Vienna, influencing the architecture and diversifying the city. Even to this day, you can see the remanence of Dutch architecture in the gilded gables atop the buildings that wall off Oudeplatz (even the name "Oudeplatz" is a mix of German and Dutch).
