It is the principal city of the Storm Lake micropolitan area.HistoryStorm Lake's first European settler, Abner Bell, arrived in 1856, and the city was officially incorporated in 1873.[4] Though early settlers found no natives permanently occupying the land, the area around the lake was likely used for fishing and hunting by tribes traveling from the north. Centuries prior to European colonization, the area was home to the Mill Creek indigenous culture.[5] Railroad magnate John Insley Blair platted out land in Storm Lake in the 1870s. During the same decade, the Illinois Central Railroad was constructed through the town.[6]The city of Storm Lake is named for the lake where it is said a trapperexperienced a severe storm.[7] An alternate story claims the lake took its name after two star-crossed lovers from opposed Native American bands paddled out for a secret rendezvous, only to be drowned as a sudden storm blew in.[8]The 1920s and 1930s saw economic and industrial growth, with the town remaining relatively unaffected by the Great Depression.[9] During the 1940s, a prisoner-of-war camp was temporarily established in Storm Lake.[10] In 1956, the main building of the Buena Vista University campus burned down. The central brick archway was salvaged and remains standing.[11]Storm Lake was a landing place of Hmong and Tai Dam refugees following the Vietnam War.[12] Meat packing jobs have drawn thousands of migrant workers, predominantly from Latin America.[13] Work vouchers and other factors have also drawn immigration from Micronesia. Storm Lake is currently one of ten cities in the mainland United States to host a polling location for Micronesian elections.[14] A 2017 New York Times profile analyzed the positive effects of immigration on the Storm Lake community.[15] Also that year, journalist Katie Couric interviewed Storm Lake residents for a National Geographic story on the town’s diversity.[16] A 2020 article in Fox Newshighlighted Storm Lake as an example of the positive economic impacts of immigration on rural communities.[17]___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We strive to find rare and unusual vintage pieces to match up with your special collection.
