La Reunion Settlement Near Dallas Aided by Immigrants
On June 16, 1855 about 200 immigrants joined the La Reunion colony on the Trinity River west of Dallas founded by Victor Prosper Considerant a French socialist. The town featured simple houses around a square and a democratic assembly government with banishment as punishment. A school of vocal music began, but poor land and drainage led to fading activity as colonists drifted away by 1856 and the settlement was absorbed after a generation.
