Walker Iowa Sees Rapid Growth Since Rail Link
Walker, a young Linn County town named for W. W. Walker, has rapidly grown after the Milwaukee Division of the B., O. R. & M. Railway arrived twenty five miles from Cedar Rapids. In under three years it has attracted capital, built depots and warehouses, and drawn substantial business blocks amid expanding farms and a wide trade area. Incorporation discussions, new streets, and continued development signal a thriving future as the town strives to rank among the county’s premier communities.
