Sam Noble and Daniel Tyler, the founders of Anniston, Alabama, wanted to create a utopian factory city in the postwar New South that not only made them money but kept vice from creeping onto its streets. But they failed. As soon as the city was opened to the public in 1883, Anniston became known for its rampant whiskey reputation, and arrests of prostitutes and their clients at "bawdy houses" were common. So much for their Model City being free from vice.
