History
After the failure of the La Réunion colony in Dallas, Texas, Victor Prosper Considerant purchased 47000 acres of land in Sabinal Canyon in Uvalde County with the hopes of founding another utopian socialist settlement. That settlement never materialized.[1]
In 1884, a survey was platted for the town of Montana, Texas in Uvalde County; upon discovering that the name Montana was already taken, the name was changed to Utopia. Utopia replaced the previous community of Waresville as the local post office; to this day the cemetery is named for Waresville.[1]
Tourism to the city boomed after the 1979 establishment of the Lost Maples State Natural Area nearby.[1]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.0 square miles (7.6 km2), all land.
