Rockland Ranch (also known as "The Rock") is a fundamentalist Mormon, polygamous community in Moab, Utah.[1] The community was founded in 1977 by Robert Dean Foster (d. 2008[1]) as a place for fundamentalist Mormons to live and practice plural marriage out of the public eye.[2] There were fifteen families involved in the community's formation.[3] The ranch's name is derived from the rockface in which the community's homes are built with the aid of dynamite.[3] This building technique was utilized in order to protect the residents from Utah's extreme weather.[3]
Today, of the 35-ish families in the community, around half contain plural marriages. Rockland Ranch hosts annual events that draw fundamentalist Mormons from around the country.[4]
Rockland Ranch is the setting for the Netflix reality TV series Three Wives, One Husband, which follows the lives of the Foster and Morrison families for a year.[3][5][6]
