Munjor Kansas

Munjor's name also underwent an Americanization. The colony of Obermonjour was founded by 108 families; it was one of the largest convoys of migrants out of the Volga River Valley.

English-speaking neighbors couldn't properly pronounce the long version of the name and mistakes were common -- when the community's post office first was chartered, it was granted to the city of Over Muncha -- so it was changed to Munjor.
