Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

The Union Colony of Colorado was a corporation formed by Nathan Meeker in 1869 in order to establish a utopian agricultural community in the Colorado Territory. The colonists founded the town of Greeley in March 1870. As a state senator, Delph Carpenter sponsored a bill to extend the corporate life of this and similar entities. He was later the secretary and treasurer for the Colony, thus holding a significant portion of its records. Much of the material found here has to do with financial and real estate transactions as well as meetings and membership. There is also some correspondence, including that conducted by Carpenter for the Colony, and some miscellaneous material, not necessarily relating to Colony business but still relating to Colony life or people. Files are arranged alphabetically by title.
