In 1813 German farmers responded to the call of the Russian Tsar Alexander I to settle in Bessarabia. A group of 126 families from southern Germany, Prussia and Poland, founded in 1815, the village Skinos that in 1817 the name "Leipzig" was (now Serpnewe in Ukraine). Of these, 15 families moved back away from Eastern Europe and settled in the south of present-day U.S. state of North Dakota at the Colony of Leipzig. As 1910, the North Pacific Railroad 11 miles southwest of Leipzig was established, the settlers moved to in July and founded the city still existing New Leipzig.

In April 1905 German settlers founded the colony of St. Joseph's ( Josephstal ) in Saskatchewan, Canada. Among them was a settlement called Leipzig. Whether the name of the settlement is related to the relatively nearby Colony of Leipzig in North Dakota, is unknown. Leipzig, Saskatchewan lost the status of a village due to fewer inhabitants on 1 February 1984.
