That is cool phil.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:
December 1650, the King signed the document giving the town its first privileges, and work on the new fortifications could begin. In 1651, the town was named Frederiksodde (Frederick's Point) after the king, and on 22 April 1664, it was given the newly Latinized name of Fredericia.
(King = Frederick III)
