In the 1900's, Forest City's history showed the progressiveness that continues today in the community. Louis brought new faces and new languages from Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Denmark to Forest City. In 1879, a new rail line running between Minneapolis and St. Clark, in 1855, set the pin stakes for a town called Forest City, which was literally carved out of the native forest.Īlthough the Civil War interrupted the growth of Forest City, the benefits of the new community were attractive to immigrant settlers. As he traveled from Mason City northwest to the new frontier, he came to a spot where a river flowed, trees were plentiful for building and a giant prairie laid to the West, which was abundant with deer, elk, and a buffalo-a perfect combination.
More than 160 years ago Robert Clark, a native of Pennsylvania, sought out a better life in the westward settling of a new state called Iowa-"Land between two rivers".
