New Vrindaban was originally an ISKCON intentional community located in Moundsville, West Virginia. Its main function is now pilgrimage center, mainly because of economical necessity.
There were mass defections due to the scandals of its former charismatic leader, Kirtanananda Swami and his attempts to make it an interfaith community. The community was expelled from ISKCON in 1988, because of the scandals, but later became again affiliated with ISKCON in 1998.
New Vrindaban is named after the Indian city of Vrindavan, which is where Krishna was born.
