History of Story City, IA

Story City was known as Fairview throughout much of its early history. The named changed in 1881 when the town established a post office and discovered that Fairview was taken elsewhere. Story City was then renamed after Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story. The boundaries of “Old Fairview” are outlined by signs during Scandinavian Days, and is approximately in the northeast corner of current Story City with the southern boundary being Broad Street.

Story City was laid out to include Fairview in 1878, and officially incorporated in 1881. The railroad arrived in 1878 and connected the city to Ames by the narrow-gauge Des Moines & Minnesota and to Des Moines via the Chicago and North Western Railroad in Ames.

The City has deep historic and cultural ties to the Scandinavian countries of northern Europe of DenmarkSweden, and predominantly Norway. A large contingent of the City’s current population is descended from a major immigration of people from Nordic countries in the 1840s through 1860s. This is evident in the large number of Lutheran churches in the community, which historically had sermons in different languages (Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian) respective of the makeup of their congregations.
