== Name ==
The source of the original name Johannisberg remains something of a mystery. There are many German places by that name, but none of them is listed as the original home of any of the Saxon colony that came to Perry County. It is not likely to have been the well known Johannisberg on the Rhine, which is a Catholic stronghold, nor is it likely to have been Johannisberg in East Prussia, which also could not have had any connection with the Saxons. There is a Johannisberg in the historically German-speaking part of Bohemia, near Reichenberg, about seventy miles southeast of Dresden across the Erzgebirge, and some connection is just possible between it and Martin Stephan's earlier Bohemian days. But the most probable conjecture is that the name was coined from the name of Stephan's church in Dresden, the "Johannis-Gemeinde," or else that it is a lost parish name from somewhere near Dresden, which is particularly rich in Johannis-names.〔State Historical Society of Missouri: Perry County Place Names http://shs.umsystem.edu/manuscripts/ramsay/ramsay_perry.html〕 Austrian settlers referred to the community as Neu Wels, which was later Americanized to ''New Wells''.
