 It was preceded by several abortive attempts, including a Libertarian Party in California, a functional Libertarian party group in Florida that remains as the [[Libertarian Party of Florida]], and a Libertarian Party formed in 1856 by Manuel de Lemos and J. De Jacques which evolved into the Libertarian and Workingmen's Library.
