  • Early History of Mediapolis
    Early History of Mediapolis The territory in which Mediapolis is located is in the fourth of the magnificent states carved from the vast territory acquired from France in 1803 known as the Louisiana Purchase. In 1812 the Territory of Louisiana was reorganized and named the Territory of Missouri. In 1821, the State of Missouri was organized in its present form and the remaining portion was left for a time without any organized form of government. This was a part of the Territory of Michigan in 1834. Then in 1836, the Territory of Wisconsin was organized including what is now the States of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. In 1838, the territory was organized embracing that part of Wisconsin Territory lying west of the Mississippi River, north of the State of Missouri, (Iowa Territory). On the 28th day of December 1846, Iowa was admitted in its present from as the 29th State of the Union. It was a vast wilderness inhabited with the exception of a few military posts, exclusively by Indians. The Sac and Fox tribes lived here at one time, all up and down the Mississippi River, under Chiefs Black Hawk and Keokuk. Buffaloes and other wild animals abounded in every part of the state. It was destitute of woods, except near streams, where the most valuable lands were and settlers found good land for farming. The territory in which Mediapolis is located was ceded to the government by the Indians in 1832 and was known as the Black Hawk Purchase. These lands were opened for settlement on June 1, 1833.
