Oneida was the name of a utopian society that briefly formed in Oneida, New York. Founded by John Humphrey in 1848, the ultimately failed city had a total of 87 members. Currently known as “Bible Communism,” the principle they were fighting to uphold was based on a mindset of sharing and selflessness. For that reason, the group was also known by outsiders as the Perfectionists.
The utopia, or commune, sustained itself with production of goods such as canned food and silk. But before long, they also began dabbling in flatware. While the Oneida community eventually dissipated, the Oneida brand of flatware flourished. Today, Oneida dinnerware and flatware is one of the most respected names in dishware, yet very few know of its commune roots.
