Huron Hutterite Bruderhof, four miles (6.4 kilometers) north of Benard, Manitoba, was founded in 1918 by 19 families with their preachers Joseph and Michael Waldner, who were brothers. The colony sold its Huron Hutterite Colony holdings in South Dakota, 12 miles (19.3 kilometers) northeast of Huron and gave the new Bruderhof the same name. The reason for the migration was the more liberal provisions made for conscientious objectors to military service. On 14 February 1926, Joseph Glanzer was chosen preacher and confirmed in office on 9 December 1934. Preacher Michael Waldner was chosen on 3 March 1940. In 1947 the Bruderhof numbered 163, of whom 64 were baptized members.
Daughter colonies of Huron Hutterite Colony include: Aspenheim (Bagot, Manitoba, Canada); Parkview (Riding Mountain, Manitoba, Canada); Pearl Creek (Iroquois, South Dakota, USA); Thorndale (Manitoba, Canada); Roseisle (Manitoba, Canada); and Poplar Point (Poplar Point, Manitoba, Canada).
In 2025 the Huron Hutterite Colony was a Schmiedeleut Group 2 colony.
