The nearly sixty utopian communities founded between 1820 and 1850 primarily aimed to create ideal societies based on principles of shared ownership, communal living, and social reform. Many of these communities sought to escape the perceived moral decay of mainstream society, emphasizing equality, cooperation, and often religious or philosophical ideals. They varied in their specific goals, with some focusing on agricultural self-sufficiency, while others emphasized education, spiritual growth, or the abolition of social injustices. Overall, these communities reflected a desire for a better, more harmonious way of life.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) during the antebellum era in America can be considered a utopian society. While not all Church members lived in a single community, the majority did. This community was close-knit and striving to establish "Zion." They worked and lived cooperatively with each other similar to ways that other utopian societies at the time did. They have sometimes been considered the only utopian group that has survived from that era, although their practices have been modernized and could not be considered utopian today.
