Also known as the Amana Colonies, and in some contexts as the Amana Society, Amana was a settlement established in 1855 by German and Swiss Pietists in Iowa County, Iowa. The name “Amana” was taken from a hill referred to in the Song of Solomon (4:8). [Source: Encyclopedia of Community: From the Village to the Virtual World; Amana]
