History
Gladstone was founded in 1880 by William H. Harris, an Englishman, who hoped to set up a Utopian religious community called "Gladstone Colony".[2] He named it in honor of William Ewart Gladstone, a Liberal politician and the British Prime Minister at the time. A fair number of settlers came to Gladstone, but many left disillusioned shortly thereafter.[1]
