Commonwealth is a traditional English term for a political community founded for the common good.

Four states in the United States officially designate themselves as "commonwealths":

Kentucky is designated a commonwealth by the Kentucky Constitution and is known as the “Commonwealth of Kentucky”.

Massachusetts is a commonwealth, declaring itself as such in its constitution, which states that "The body politic is formed by a voluntary association of individuals: it is a social compact, by which the whole people covenants with each citizen, and each citizen with the whole people, that all shall be governed by certain laws for the common good."

Pennsylvania uses the "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" as its official title.

Virginia has been known as the "Commonwealth of Virginia" since before joining the United States​

I live in the hill community of Fairplay, California, which historically was a gold mining camp during the California gold rush. For information about our beautiful community, look here. Especially check out the family farms page… we live on one of the alpaca ranches.
