About Amana, Iowa
Amana is a community of 388 people in Iowa County. It was the first of the seven Amana Colonies, laid out in 1855 by the Community of True Inspiration. These German Radical Pietists had fled persecution at home. Their first American home was near Buffalo, New York.
The group reached New York in 1842 and bought 5,000 acres near Buffalo. By 1854 the colony had outgrown that land. Its elders also feared the growing city would be a bad influence. Two elders found good land near the Iowa River, so the community bought it and moved west. The settlers first planned to call their village Bleibetreu, meaning "remain faithful." English speakers found it hard to say, so they chose Amana, a Biblical name with much the same meaning.
“Amana (meaning remaining true), the first village to be established was settled in 1855. During the next seven years Middle Amana, High Amana, West Amana, South Amana and East Amana were founded and the town of Homestead was purchased so as to acquire direct access to a railroad.”
- Incorporated in 1859Iowa law made the community incorporate as a business. So in 1859 the members formed the Amana Society to run their villages. Soon after, they adopted a twelve-article constitution. It was much like the one they had used in New York.
- Buying Homestead for the railroadAt first the closest station to Amana was in Iowa City, 20 miles away. In 1861 the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad opened a station in nearby Homestead. The community bought the whole village, and its land grew to 26,000 acres. By 1862 there were seven villages. Each had its own church, school, bakery, dairy, general store and fire department.
- Shared work until 1932For eighty years the villages held their land in common. They made nearly everything they needed, from furniture to clothes, with hand, horse, wind and water power. Members got a yearly allowance to spend at the village stores. Communal life ended in 1932. During the Great Depression the members voted to form a for-profit Amana Society, which included the Amana Corporation.
- A National Historic Landmark in 1965The Amana Colonies became a National Historic Landmark in 1965. The church still meets, with regular worship in Middle Amana. The larger meeting house in Amana holds special services, Sunday school and fellowship gatherings.
