About Sac City, IA

Sac City was first platted in 1855 by Joshua Keith Powell of Fort Dodge, Iowa. The town was so named because the Sac and Fox Indians [nb 1] were in possession of the land at the time of the Louisiana Purchase. The City of Sac City was incorporated 19 years later, in 1874. Judge Eugene Criss, credited with being the father of Sac City, left Wisconsin and crossed the Mississippi River in the early months of 1855 by covered wagon. He was in search of waterpower and had the desire to establish a settlement in a new and untried country.
