Frohna /ˈfroʊnə/ is a city in Perry County, Missouri, United States. The population was 254 at the 2010 census.
Frohna is named after the town of Niederfrohna (German: Lower Frohna) in the Zwickau district of the German region of Saxony. Although the German colony was initially called Niederfrohna, the Nieder- was eventually dropped from the name.
Frohna is one of seven towns and villages in the area founded by German immigrants in 1839. It and the others -- Altenburg, Dresden, Johannisberg, Paitzdorf, Seelitz, and Wittenberg—were all named by settlers for towns in the Saxony region of their native country.
Concordia Lutheran Church is a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. The Saxon Fall Festival is held every October at the Saxon Lutheran Memorial.
The Saxon Lutheran Memorial is a tribute to the German Lutheran migration of 1838/1839, and features a number of log cabins from that era.
