History

Williams subsequently moved to Galesburg, Illinois, where (among other things) he became acquainted with the young Carl Sandburg (as mentioned in Sandburg's autobiography, 'Always the Young Strangers'). Unfortunately, the Midwest was hit by a major winter storm that day, and Stein’s visit to Iowa was entirely cancelled. The original town plat was a simple nine-block grid on the east side of the Wapsipinicon River. The town was intended as an alternative to Quasqueton, Iowa (then called Quasequetuk), which was the county seat prior to 1847. The original courthouse was replaced in 1939 by a Moderne or Art Deco structure.
