It was named for the brothers John Peter and Nicholas Schneider, who left Frankfurt-on-the-Rhine in Germany to explore the new world. They secured passage to Philadelphia, where they found work as millwrights and carpenters. They settled in North Aurora and began to develop as a thriving community.
