A short history of Altoona

Altoona was platted in 1868 where the Des Moines Valley and Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific lines crossed, taking its name from Altoona, Pennsylvania — another railroad town.

Adventureland opened in 1974 and Prairie Meadows racetrack in 1989, transforming a farm-and-rail town into the metro's entertainment district. Population has more than doubled since 2000.

Megan · Ankeny

"Local folks, veterans, and they shoot straight. Showed up the same day and handled the problem in 20 minutes."

Dale · Albia
