Icall Them "Geographical Groups," for There Seems to Be Littleevidence
A BRIEF HISTORY OF FORMER, NOW EXTINCT, AMISH COMMUNITIES IN PENNSYLANIA1 MAURICE A. MOOK* an earlier article in which the ten present Old Order Amish com- munities in Pennsylvania were identified and located, 2 the present Inwriter stated that "No one knows how many times the Amish have unsuccessfully attempted to establish new communities ... in the his- tory of the Commonwealth." Subsequent research at the Mennonite Publishing House Library at Scottdale, Pennsylvania, 3 has revealed evidence of more than a dozen former now-extinct Amish communities in the state. The history of one of these was considered in a previous issue of this journal.4 These unsuccessful attempts of the Amish to establish colonies in Pennsylvania range in time from the early eigh- teenth century to the present year. There are records of six attempts of the Amish to establish com- munity life in southeastern Pennsylvania during the earliest years of their settlement in America. 5 Only one of these communities survives to the present day. One of their first colonies was on the "Northkill" settlement, established inthe late 1730's near the present town of Ham- burg, in northern Berks County. This frontier community, located some distance north of other settlements in southeastern Pennsylvania, was near a gap in the Blue Mountain range. The geographical isola- tion of its location and its proximity to the break in the mountain bar- rier exposed it to the Indian raids of the frontier fringe during the French and Indian War. Also the non-resistant faith of its Amish in- habitants made it an easy victim of such attacks. -
