Biographical History
The original German, utopian community, Harmonie Society, arrived in Pennsylvania in the 1780s, relocated to New Harmony, Indiana, in 1814. It established a final home, Economy, near Ambridge, in western Pennsylvania, in 1825. The Society prospered through 1868, dissolving itself in 1905 after membership declined.
The Harmony Society was a German religious group that established utopian communities in Pennsylvania and Posey County, Ind. Also known as Harmonists or Rappites (after leader George Rapp), the group moved from Harmonie, Penn. to found New Harmony, Ind. in 1815. By 1824 the disillusioned group gradually began moving back to Pennsylvania, and the town was sold to British utopian leader Robert Owen.
