About Koreshan State Historic Site
Cyrus Teed, known to followers as Koresh, founded the Koreshan Unity in the 1890s and established this communal settlement at Estero, Florida, based on his belief that humanity lived inside a hollow earth. The celibate community practiced cooperative living and planned the site as the center of a great future city. Membership declined after Teed died in 1908.
