Atalissa’s Early Days and Institutions Record
In 1847 William Lundy and Mary founded a town that grew into Atalissa, Iowa. The article recalls land surveys by Peter Houtz, a 1856 town plat, a C R I L P railroad arrival, a post office led by N C Swank, and the first store, school, and houses. It notes churches, fraternal groups, local commerce, the lack of saloons, and community efforts shaping a small, prosperous village with growing infrastructure.
