http://dbpedia.org/resource/Ceresco,_Wisconsin an entity of type: Thing
Ceresco, also known as the Wisconsin Phalanx, was a commune founded in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin in 1844 by followers of the communitarian socialist ideas of Charles Fourier. About 180 people lived in the Association at its peak, farming nearly 2,000 acres. It was one of the three longest-lived Fourierist Associations in the United States, dissolving in 1850, and was unique for having assets which exceeded liabilities at the time of its termination. In 1858 the remaining inhabitants of Ceresco were annexed by the nearby town of Ripon, Wisconsin.

It was one of the three longest-lived Fourierist Associations in the United States, dissolving in 1850, and was unique for having assets which exceeded liabilities at the time of its termination. Since the Fourierist Association had registered their community under state law, the village of Ceresco, Wisconsin survived the collapse of the utopian socialist experiment of the 1840s. Remaining members of the Wisconsin Phalanx later formed a living cooperative and study group called the in 1855, espousing the doctrines of religious freethought and interpersonal free love until disbursed by a mob of outraged citizens. In 1858 the remaining inhabitants of Ceresco were annexed by the nearby town of Ripon, Wisconsin.
