Accepted Answer

Oneida was a utopian community founded in 1848 in Oneida, New York. It was established by John Humphrey Noyes, who believed in communal living and the practice of "complex marriage," where all members of the community were considered married to each other. The Oneida community was also known for their successful silverware manufacturing business, which became their main source of income. The historical significance of the Oneida community lies in its unique social and economic experiments, as well as its influence on the development of the feminist movement and the concept of free love in the United States.
