The Kaweah Colony was a utopian socialist community in central California founded in 1886, with a name meaning "here we rest."[1] Located in the Sierra Nevada range, they lived near groves of giant sequoia trees. The colony officially disbanded in 1892. The establishment of Sequoia National Park in 1890 contributed to the colony's demise. Some of their descendants still reside in the area.
