Just saw this too. Comments talked about Colorado City, the one founded by FDLS' Warren Jeffs -- but I found a city founded by a group that splintered off from Jeffs' group in the 1980s: Centennial City, Arizona.

Apparently Lisa Ling did a documentary on the city for Oprah's channel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Park_group:

The Centennial Park group was profiled on the ABC television program Primetime in a story entitled "The Outsiders", and also on The Oprah Winfrey Network's Our America with Lisa Ling.

Here's the wiki on the City itself, citing a median age of 15!: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Park,_Arizona

Back to digging... Here's a creepy photo page from their blog: http://centennialparkaz.com/people/

O, yeah, and there's this: The initials of the city are CP.

(Edited to clarify Warren Jeffs' as founder of Colorado City -- and add note about CP)

Colorado City was were Warren Jeffs was going to set up shop

Carolyn Jessop's said in article...

It was getting very scary, the things that Warren was talking about.

He was talking about moving people to what he called "The Center Place." I knew Warren well enough to know what he had up his sleeve, and I knew he was going to move us into compounds and separate us from family, friends and relatives.
