After buying 1000 acres, the majority of acreage still designated as United States Territory, he laid out a town and named it after his birthplace of Gotha, Germany. He then mailed promotional pamphlets to northern cities and to Europe advertising the warm climate and mild winters.
In time, several German American families moved to and settled in and around Gotha. It is home to Nehrling Gardens, developed by horticulturist Henry Nehrling.[3]
