According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the town was 4,607.[2] At least three Mormon fundamentalist sects are said to have been based there.[3]Contents [hide]1 History 2 Geography 3 Demographics 4 Education 5 Twin City 6 References 7 External links [edit] HistoryColorado City, formerly known as Short Creek (or the Short Creek Community), was founded in 1913[4] by members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a breakaway sect of the Salt Lake City-based The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The FLDS membership desired a remote location where they could practice plural marriage, which had been publicly abandoned by the LDS Church in 1890. On July 26, 1953, Arizona Governor John Howard Pyle sent troops into the settlement to stop polygamy in what became known as the Short Creek raid. The two-year legal battle that followed became a public relations disaster that doomed Pyle's political career and set a hands-off tone toward the town in Arizona for the next fifty years.[5]In January 2004, the local religious leader, Warren Jeffs, expelled a group of twenty men, including the mayor, and gave their wives and children to other men. Jeffs stated he was acting on the orders of God, while the men expelled claimed they were penalized for disagreeing with Jeffs. Observers stated that this was the most severe split to date within the community.According to the Utah attorney general's office, this was not the first time Jeffs was accused for expelling men from the community; as many as four-hundred young men are estimated to have been expelled by Jeffs from 2001–2006. Most were removed for failing to follow Jeffs' rules, or for dating women without his permission. These expelled men and boys, many very naive and sheltered, often wound up homeless and using drugs in nearby towns such as Hurricane, Utah.[6]Most of the property in the town is owned by the United Effort Plan, the financial arm of the FLDS.The Colorado City/Hildale, Utah area has the world's highest incidence of fumarase deficiency, an extremely rare genetic condition which causes severe mental retardation. Geneticists attribute this to the prevalence of cousin marriage between descendants of two of the town's founders, Joseph Smith Jessop and John Y. Barlow; at least half the double community's roughly 8,000 inhabitants are descended from one or both.[7]In 2007 the state authorities dismantled church ownership of Colorado City lands.

Edgehill Church
United Church of Christ, Riverdale Presbyterian Chapel, Spuyten Duyvil, Riverdale, Bronx, New York City, New York, United StatesThe small, asymmetrically massed church now known as the. Edgehill Church of Spuyten Duyvil (United Church of Christ), is a rare survivor from the period when the Spuyten Duyvil section of the Bronx was a sparcely populated area at the northern edge of New York City. The church was organized in 1869 as a mission chapel affiliated with the Riverdale Presbyterian Church. The chapel served the workers at the nearby Johnson Iron Foundry and its history is closely connected with the family of Isaac G. Johnson. In 1888 Francis B. Kimball, one of New York City's most prominent architects, was commissioned to design a new chapel for the small Spuyten Duyvil congregation. Kimball designed an eclectic 'building that combines a variety of stylistic forms in an unusual manner, creating a picturesque structure that is dramatically expressive of its hilly, rural setting.Until the Spuyten Duyvil section was developed with high-rise apartment buildings following the construction of the Henry Hudson Parkway, it was a rural area composed primarily of large riverside estates and country houses.The one intrusion into the peaceful, rural character of the area was the Johnson Iron Foundry located in the. southern portion of Spuyten Duyvil, on a peninsula that jutted into Spuyten Duyvil Creek. The Johnson Iron Foundry was founded by Eiias Johnson following the 1851 liquidation of the Johnson, Cox & Fuller stove foundry in Troy, Mew York. Eli as Johnson sent his son Isaac Gale Johnson to New York to acquire a site for the foundry. The younger Johnson purchased land in Spuyten Duyvil, then part of Westchester County, because of its location near vital means of transportation and near the large New York City market. The Johnson and Cox families also purchased 170 adjoining acres and laid out a village originally called Fort Independence. The name was soon changed to Spuyten Duyvil since Fort Independence had actually been located farther to the east.The Johnson Iron Foundry and the adjoining Spuyten Duyvil Rolling Mill Co., owned by Elias Johnson and David Cox, were extremely successful particularly during the Crvil War, and by the 1860s they employed about 300 people. Small houses and a school for the workers' children were erected north of the factory. Although the Spuyten Duyvil Rolling Mill Co. closed in 1883, the Johnson foundry remained in operation until 1923 when the peninsula on which the factory was located, was canderaed by the city. The land was destroyed in order to improve navigation between the Harlem and Hudson Rivers. The only remnants of this period of Spuyten Duyvil's history are a few small frame buildings clustered under the Henry Husdon Bridge on Johnson and Edsall Avenues, and the Edgehill Church.When Issac Johnson purchased the land in Spuyten Duyvil for his family's iron foundry, the nearest church was over a mile away. Johnson was a devout Baptist and sought to impart religious teachings to his workers. He started a smallSunday school class in the office of the foundry, and in 1869 he leased land in the area to the Riverdale Presbyterian Church for a chapel. A small wooden chapel structure was erected at this time on Puddler's Lane, located near the junction of present-day Johnson Avenue and Kappock Street.Although the congregation of the Riverdale Presbyterian Chapel was never large (most of the foundry workers were Irish Catholics), it outgrew its original building, and in 1885 members of the Riverdale Presbyterian Church signed a document subscribing money 'for the purpose of building a Presbyterian Church at Spuyten Duyvil.' The church was to be built on land donated by Mary E. Cox, the wife of one of Johnson's partners. By June, $3,300 had been raised for the construction of the chapel, the cost of which was estimated at $3,500 excluding furnaces and furnishings.^ In January, 1889 'the matter of the old chapel. . was referred to Mr. Isaac Johnson with full power to sell and apply the proceeds towards the expense of the new chapel.The designs for the new chapel were submitted by Francis Kimball in 1888, but construction did not begin until April 1, 1889. The records of the New York City Buildings Department record that work was completed on the church by April 29, 1889, - a very short construction period.Architect Francis Hatch Kimball (1845-1919) was a major figure in the New York City architectural world during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work spans a period of great stylistic and technological change in American architecture. Kimball's work evolved with the changing architectural scene, and he designed some of the fineiir and most innovative buildings of the period. Early in his career, Kimball managed the Hartford office of Boston architects Rogers & Bryant. While still in Hartford, he was commission
