The Friendly Association for Mutual Interests founded Massillon, then called Kendal, on a 2,000 acre estate in response to Robert Owen's success in New Harmony, Indiana to create a utopian society. The group of approximately 150 people, consisting of farmers, mill workers, and mechanics from the surrounding area, abandoned their communitarian lifestyle.
