The property known as Estate Niesky was purchased in 1755 by the Moravian Church in Charlotte Amalie, during the era when America's original Thirteen Colonies were still part of the British Empire. The United States would not take possession of the islands until March 31, 1917, at which time Denmark sold the islands for the sum of $25,000,000 in United States gold coin. Read more on Wikipedia
