The name Old Colony Mennonites (German: ''Altkolonier Mennoniten'') is used to describe that part of the Russian Mennonite movement that is descended from colonists who migrated from the Chortitza Colony in Russia (itself originally of Prussian origins) to settlements in Canada. Since Chortitza was the first Mennonite settlement in Russia, it was known as the ''Old Colony''. In the course of the 19th century the population of the Chortitza Colony multiplied, and daughter colonies were founded. Part of the settlement moved to Canada in the 1870s, and the Canadian community, whose church was officially known as the Reinländer Mennoniten Gemeinde, was still informally known by the old name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Old Colony Mennonite Church )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Reinlander Mennoniten Gemeinde (Manitoba) )〕 When members of the Old Colony Mennonites then moved from Canada to other places, the name was kept. Old Colony Mennonites are typically more conservative than most other Russian Mennonites in North America. , Old Colony Mennonite communities could be found in Mexico, Bolivia, Belize, Canada, the United States of America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Old Colony Mennonites )〕 In 2013 the vast majority of Old Colony Mennonites lived in Mexico, where about 60% of the 100,000 Mennonites are affiliated with the ''Altkolonier Mennonitengemeinde''〔Fretz, J. Winfield and H. Leonard Sawatzky. "Mexico." Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online. November 2010. Web. 23 Sep 2014. ()〕 and Bolivia, where about 75% of about 70.000 are affiliated with the ''Altkolonier Mennonitengemeinde''.〔Bender, Harold S., Martin W. Friesen, Menno Ediger, Isbrand Hiebert and Gerald Mumaw. "Bolivia." Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online. June 2013. Web. 23 Sep 2014. ()〕 A smaller group lived in Belize, where about 50% of the 10,000 Mennonites are affiliated with the ''Altkolonier Mennonitengemeinde''.〔Gingerich, Melvin and John B. Loewen. "Belize." Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online. May 2013.
