Zoar Village was founded in 1817 in Northern Tuscarawas County, Ohio, near the Tuscarawas River by a group of 200 German Separatists seeking escape from religious persecution in their homeland. These Separatists thrived as a unique Society for more than 80 years, making Zoar Village one of American history's most successful communal settlements. Today, Zoar Village comprises approximately 75 families living in homes built from 1817 to today.
