Dec 15 – This
hamlet was founded by a few American Mormons in the 19th century. This was part of a wave of migration of
Mormons leaving the United States to find religious freedom, since in 1862 the
United States had created laws that did not let them practice polygamy, a part
of their religion at the time.
I was unable
to discover whether there were precisely 7 persons involved in founding the
community. Seven men, women, &
children could easily be one family. Or
was it 7 men, plus their wives & children?
That could be more like 40 persons.
This view
from the highway seems to show a community park picnic pavilion, a hint of
community life in this area of vast distances.
