Originally settled by French immigrants, the name Gallia is Latin for Gaul, an ancient region of West Europe located in modern-day France. In the 19th century, an influx of people from the Upper South migrated to the region. Then in 1818, a large group from Wales settled in Gallia. Welsh was the second most common language spoken until 1970. With this diverse background, you can see why Gallia is the rich cultural city it is today!
