Nellie is the "stranger" that Emile sings about in the classic "Some Enchanted Evening." Where is Nellie from?

As described on EncyclopediaOfArkanas.net: "Along with including subplots from the book, the musical focuses on Nellie’s story. Rodgers and Hammerstein stated that they wanted to send a strong message on racism by spotlighting Nellie’s ability to overcome her prejudice by staying in the South Pacific to spend her life with the plantation owner and his native children."
