I searched this site for Waldenburg and find you have done most of the research on that towns name in various parts of Europe & only 1 in the USA. BUT, I grew up in Waldenburg Michigan. It is in Macomb Township of Macomb County. I have visited Waldenburg Arkansas also. Waldenburg Michigan got its name from German immigrants of 1850. They emmigrated from Waldenburg Silesia,(A Prussian Province & now Poland). Of the people from that area I have found to date: August Posner,his nephew Ambrose Leyer, Reinhardt Traap/Trapp, August Weber. Posner & Weber were of the first officers of a Lutheran Church they helped establish, named Emmanuel Evangelical German Lutheran Church, of the Missouri Synod. Macomb Township has removed the road sign that gave  attention to the towns name. As everywhere we see only subdivisions and strip malls replacing the former German farms. There are remnants of the old buildings yet and some of newer ones have the town name as part of thier business name,like Waldenburg Bar & Waldenburg Plaza & the township has a park on August Webers former farm named:Waldenburg Park. As for the history of Waldenburg, I have a 100+ year old Polk Directory of Michigan Towns,which,includes Waldenburg. The history,such as it is written is mostly accurate in the site of Macomb County. We have purchased Porcelan China made in Waldengurg,Poland also. For more information on this subject ,please contact me & I will search your email questions for more data where possible.
