The city of Frohna is one of seven cities that were founded in 1839 by settlers from the Kingdom of Saxony . The settlers named the cities after places in their home region, the name of Frohna is derived from that of the community Niederfrohna near Zwickau , whereby the addition Nieder- was deleted from the name. Initially, 27 families lived in the village. In the same year, pastor Ernst Gerhard Wilhelm Keyl set up a room for church services in his house before Frohna received a church building in 1843. A sawmill was built next to the church in the small town at the beginning of the 1860s and a general store in 1865. In 1870, Frohna received a mailroom from the United States Postal Service .
