 History
In 1981 Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh came from India to Verona New Jersey where he set up shot for a few years. (I grew up 1 town over stories to follow of the cult in NJ)
After getting their feet planted so to speak the Bhagwan and his followers moved to a 6.25 square mile ranch just south of Antelope. The cult grew to 7,000 in size. They tried to have thier compound declaired a city but the county struck that down.
SOoooo,
The Rajneeshies began to buy up property in Antelope, eventually they owned most of twon and were able to vote themselves into the city council. Once that happend they were able to move all of the main infrastructure from Antelope to the compound. IE Fire Dept, Police Dept, Local Health service and the school,
In 1985 after a failed terrorist plot to poison the residents of the county seat, the Bhagwan and his second in command fled.
