"Historians generally concede that the experiment in communal living that began in Nauvoo in the Spring of 1849 and ended with the dissolution of the last Icarian community at Corning, Iowa, in October 1898, is one of America's longest-lived utopian experiements...Cabet's utopian dream first took shape, physically, here, on property purchased from the Mormons, and the Nauvoo Icaria was by all accounts one of the most important utopian socialist communities in American history."
