Amish society originated in Europe in the year 1693, when it was founded by Jakob Ammann.

Amish communities today are found primarily in the states of Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Ohio, although they are widespread in many other states besides Ontario. Although it was believed that this society would become extinct by the twenty-first century, the Amish population has unexpectedly increased dramatically over the past hundred years. In 1900 the population amounted to just under six thousand people. However, according to The Amish, the current population of this cultural group has reached 275,000 people (Kraybill, Johnson-Weiner, and Nolt, 3-4).
