Polk’s First Homes Worked Into Town Origins
A the Spring 1951 history notes Polk’s earliest settlers the Bravers and JenNERS. Olga Jenner Whitacre and Verbena Wurtz recount 1906 land purchases near Highway 66, the Jenners moving into a blacksmith shop shanty, and early families like Niermans and Sundbergs shaping Polk before formal lots. The piece preserves local memory of 1906 purchases by H G Brauer and the City Improvement Co. and notes disputes over which plots sold first.
