This book mentions that the ruins of Nauvoo were bought by the Icarians. Just thought it might be a useful source to cite. Peace, CaliforniaKid 19:45, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if the Mormon temple was still standing, but the Icarians bought the Mormon property at Nauvoo because they wanted the buildings, because they were organized for a style of communal living (dormitories, workshops, common dining area) that fit the Icarians' utopian model.Avt tor 17:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the original Mormon temple was badly damaged by storm in 1852 (after the Mormons had left and the Icariens were living there). Avt tor (talk) 20:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1898[edit]

An earlier version of this page claimed that the Icariens at Corning were disbanded in 1878. That is factually incorrect. The jeunes icariens moved to the new site around 1877 and lived there until 1898. The cemetary plaque clearly shows people died here (and therefore lived here) throughout the 1880s and 1890s, and the "Chapter in the History of Marxism" document shows that they established a new constitution in 1879 for the new community.

POV[edit]

I dislike the closing summary in that I beleive the comment about the society lasting "only 49 years" could be balanced by the fact that this appears to be considerably longer than most similar groups. 75.216.40.75 (talk) 01:23, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fact check[edit]

The reference to Leon, is almost certainly "Lyon".

So-called "Icarianism" attracted numerous supporters in such French cities as Reims, Leon, Nantes, Toulouse, and Toulon, with Cabet claiming the existence of 50,000 adherents of his ideas by the end of 1843.[15] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.221.18.82 (talk) 16:35, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Longest-lived non-religious communes[edit]

This article used to claim that the Icarians were the "longest-lived non-religious communal living experiment in American history." I believe that they are now beaten in that claim by Twin Oaks Community, but I don't have any sources to make a ranked list. Anyone? Sondra.kinsey (talk) 17:18, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Icaria ?[edit]

The awkward moment when thinkers are using islands that are exotic to them (unknown),such as Icaria, but its where you were born there :p Kp4816 (talk) 06:08, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It happens. Compare Lesbos & Lesbian. Sometimes even when someone is born in a location, they are called another name, such as Kama'aina, who are born in Hawai'i. Peaceray (talk) 05:28, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
