Shaker communities were established in the United States beginning in 1784 in the New England states and then spread to the Midwestern states. Communities of Shakers were governed by area bishoprics and within the communities individuals were grouped into "family" units and worked together to manage daily activities. As the number of living Shakers diminished, Shaker villages ceased to exist. Some of their buildings became historic districts under the National Register of Historic Places and museums, such as the Shaker Museum and Library, now called Shaker Museum|Mount Lebanon, in New York. The only active community is Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in Maine. ==The first Shaker societies== The Shaker community north of Albany was first called "Niskayuna." Later the town they were in was officially named Watervliet. That part of the town of Watervliet is now in the town of Colonie (since 1895), and the name Watervliet is now limited to the city of Watervliet (1896). In addition, Niskayuna is now the name of a town to the northwest. This has led to some confusion, because many historical accounts refer to them as the Niskayuna Shakers, while others refer to them as Watervliet Shakers. The Watervliet Shaker Historic District is where Mother Ann Lee was buried.〔Stephen J. Stein, '' The Shaker Experience in America'' (1992) pp 10–37〕
