From Hutchinson County, South Dakota article:

Mennonites and Hutterites: Hutchinson County is the most heavily Mennonite-populated county of South Dakota. German-speaking Mennonites from Russia settled in the county beginning in 1874 until the early 1880s.[1] South Dakota has the nation's largest population of Hutterites,[2] a communal Anabaptist group that emigrated also from Russia during the same period as the Mennonites, with whom they share the Anabaptist faith. Hutterites live in communities each of about 150 people. Wolf Creek Colony is in Hutchinson County, where the Wolf meets the James River. This colony is west of Freeman and north of Olivet and Menno.[3] Other Hutterite communities in the county are Maxwell Colony, New Elm Spring Colony, Old Elm Spring Colony, and Tschetter Colony.

As of July 2022 there were 135 members of Category:Hutterite communities, most in the U.S. but Nonington one in Dover, England, and some other non-US ones.
