Welcome to Marengo Welcome to Marengo, the county seat of Iowa County. c Located along the scenic Iowa L River, the city is along the route R of o Highway 6 in the north-central portion of the county. It was p founded in 1845 as the “seat of fo justice for Iowa County” by three ju commissioners appointed by the c territorial legislature. te One of the commissioners, according to the “History a of o Iowa County,” christened the th name from a river valley near n Allesandria, Italy where Napolean Bonaparte drove off an N army of Austrian solders in 1803. a Due in large part to Marengo’s
location to the resources of the Iowa River, the town became the commercial center of Iowa County. The same river that provided the abundance of opportunity in the early days also caused numerous floods over the course of the last 150 years. Several attempts were made to reduce the damage associated with the flooding of the Iowa River and Bear Creek. Around 1900, a new channel

of the Iowa River was cut in an attempt to minimize flooding. The “Old River Bed” near Lions Park is all that is left of the former path of the Iowa River. Flooding throughout the 20th Century prompted a series of efforts to provide protection to the rapidly growing community. Levees were constructed in the 1930s, 1950s and late 1970s. The present levee, administered by the Drainage Districts 10 and 12, was completed in 1979 and protects the city from Bear Creek and the Iowa River. The pumping station located at the far east

estled in the heart of the Iowa River Valley, Marengo is just 30 miles southwest of Cedar Rapids, 30 miles west of Iowa City, and 7 miles north of Exit 216 on Interstate 80. Marengo is proud of its “small town” atmosphere. There are a wide variety of shopping, dining and recreational activities, including some of the best hunting and fishing in the state of Iowa. The City of Marengo operates under a mayor-council form of government. The mayor and five-member council are elected at-large and are non-partisan. The mayor is the presiding officer of the council. The mayor is not a member of the council and may not vote as a member. However, Marengo’s mayor does retain the authority to veto any ordinance, amendment or resolution passed by the city council. In the absence of the mayor, the council meeting is conducted by the mayor pro-tem. The first council meeting of the incorporated City of Marengo was held Nov. 26, 1859. Present were: Mayor E. C. Hendershot, H. M. Martin, E. L. Ogle, D. Sturdevant and Recorder Robert McKee. At that meeting McKee was “authorized and instructed to procure at the expense of said
town, a book suitable for a record of by-laws and ordinances, also a book in which to keep a record of the proceedings of the council, four quire of cap paper and six pounds of candles.” Council meetings are now held the second and fourth Mondays of each month beginning at 6 p.m. Learn more about the City of Marengo at the Web site www.marengoiowa.com.

Every summer, the city celebrates the Third of July with a fireworks spectacular, a street dance and games and activities for children. • Gateway Park and Preserve, located at the north end of Court Avenue, occupies a portion of the southern bank of the Iowa River. The 131-acre site includes a 41-acre lake and a 12-acre pond, which were created through the excavation of sand and gravel for a concrete business. The Iowa County Conservation Board purchased the property in 2001; it is jointly maintained by both the city and the county. The park is open for fishing and boating activity with easy access to the
Iowa River. The park and preserve are also home to a pair of American bald eagles. An arboretum is in the development process, thanks to the many donations and volunteers. Biking and hiking trails are located along the river’s levy. • Marengo Municipal Swimming Pool is located at 1277 Franklin Ave. The pool is open to the public from noon to 7 p.m. seven days a week from Memorial Day weekend to shortly before school starts in August. Daily pool announcements can be heard by calling 642-5676. • Lions’ Park is located north of Marengo at 1350 Eastern Ave. The park includes several baseball and softball diamonds that are available to the public. There are also picnic shelters, playground equipment and plenty of parking space. • A new horseshoe court was built in 2010 in the park east of Marengo City Hall. The horseshoe courts are regulation size and will host tournaments in the future. There are also rolle bolle courts, a favorite local game of Belgian tradition. A shelter house is also available for public use.

There is much to see and lots to share with your children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews, and cousins here at the Pioneer Heritage Museum. The Iowa County Historical Society was organized in November of 1963. This group gathered information and materials pertaining to Iowa County history for the express purpose of preserving and exhibiting the county’s history which then could educate present and future generations. Shortly after its organization, the Historical Society assumed the preservation of the Gritter Creek Country School located west of North English. This school building remains at its original location and is the only brick one-room schoolhouse remaining in Iowa County today. It is maintained by the The Iowa County Pioneer Heritage Museum, 675 E. South St., Marengo, Historical Society and is open to the public. features the Bees’ Gas Station from Hartwick.

Marengo Publishing Corporation, which publishes the Marengo Pioneer-Republican, is located at 100 W. Main St. The Marengo Pioneer-Republican has been in print since 1856, one of the oldest newspapers in the state of Iowa.
MARENGO PUBLISHING CORP.
■ A legacy of over 150 years of service continues
T
he Marengo Pioneer-Republican celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2006. Throughout the years there have been many changes in management and fewer changes in name, but the purpose of the newspaper has remained the same, to serve the information, communication and entertainment needs of the people of Iowa County. The P-R’s progenitor, the Iowa Weekly Visitor, made its debut Sept. 6, 1856, with Clinton Edwards as the publisher and editor. Edwards’ venture at the time was considered precarious, for the population of Marengo was less than 300 and the people generally poor. Money was scarce and almost any usable commodity was taken in payment for subscription. The newspaper became the Marengo Republican in 1871 under the guidance of editors Spering and Crenshaw, who were both staunch supporters of President Lincoln. In 1923, Fred Cook purchased the competing newspaper, The Marengo Democrat, and changed the name to The Marengo Pioneer. Then in 1927, Mortimer Goodwin and K. R. Marvin purchased both the Marengo Republican and the Marengo Pioneer, and since then, the community newspaper has been called the Marengo Pioneer-Republican. Ownership was passed on to Glenn A. Ellis and Harold V. Ellis in April 1930. The Ellises stayed with The Pioneer-Republican for over 30 years. Marengo Publishing Corporation (MPC) was founded in 1963 by Leland M. Turnbull, his son, James Turnbull, and long-time Pioneer-Republican editor James A. Mayer with the purchase of The Pioneer-Republican and The Blairstown Press from the Ellises. Jim Turnbull became the acting president of MPC until his death in 1979.
In March 1979 Sheryl Turnbull (now Sandersfeld) was elected president of Marengo Publishing Corporation. Michael Simmons was named executive vice president and chief operations manager and became publisher for The NEWSpapers of Iowa County. Elected secretary was Don Magdefrau, Belle Plaine, and C. Edward Koch, Williamsburg, was treasurer and business manager. The North English Record was added to NEWSpapers of Iowa County in 1979. Marengo Publishing Corporation office, previously at 1021 Court Avenue, has been in its present location at 100 W. Main St. since 1983. Simmons, Magdefrau and G. Alan Sieve, editor in chief of The NEWSpapers of Iowa County from 19922000, purchased controlling interest in MPC in 1987. The group added another partner, Dan DeBettignies, in 1990 with the purchase of The Montezuma Republican. The Brooklyn Free Press was purchased in 1993 and the Brooklyn Chronicle in 1996. The Grinnell Pennysaver was purchased in 1997. The 4-County Market, Victor, was purchased in 1988 and The Iowa County Advertiser, Williamsburg, was purchased in 1989. In 2000 the group sold all of the publications to The Des Moines Register and Tribune Company, a division of Gannett Company Inc. Today, MPC remains in business after serving the community of Marengo for over 150 years, the oldest operating business in Iowa County. MPC publishes The Marengo Pioneer-Republican, The Williamsburg Journal Tribune, The Star Press Union, The Poweshiek County Chronicle-Republican, The Iowa County Advertiser, The 4-County Market and the Grinnell Pennysaver.

GATEWAY PARK G
ateway Park and Preserve, located at the north end of Court Avenue in Marengo on the southern bank of the Iowa River, was created from 131 acres of land purchased from Frank and Charleen Disterhoft and Marengo Ready Mix. The project site includes a 41-acre lake and a 12-acre pond for fishing created through the excavation of sand and gravel used for a concrete business. There is a network of walking and biking trails, which encompass the lake and pond. While still in early development, Iowa County Conservation hopes Gateway Park and Preserve will be a viable asset to the community, county and surrounding area. Gateway Park Arboretum is nestled on the southern edge of the park within 7.5 acres. It includes a memory garden plus other gardens and the veterans’ memorial with the inscription: “In honor of those who served proudly — lest we forget.”
Gateway Park and Preserve is Marengo’s newest park located at the city’s northern end. The park is currently open for fishing activity and contains a boat ramp for access to the Iowa River. The arboretum continues to develop, thanks to many donations and volunteers. Biking and hiking trails are located along the river’s levee.
Flowers …or no occasion at all! Gateway Park is a great place to walk or bike and to enjoy nature without having to get too far out of town.
In 2004 volunteers constructed the first 1.5 miles of a 3.6-mile walk/bike trail funded by a $65,000 trails grant from the National Park Service and the Blaine Fund. In 2009, R.A.I.V. Committee and other volunteers finished the western stretch of trail from the previous end to 212 Boulevard, a distance of 2.1 miles. The trail runs along the top of the levee. Future plans for the park include bioswales, a children’s water garden, wetlands preservation and restoration, education gardens, a lakeside pavillion, a memorial pavillion, a wedding pavillion, picnic area and a welcome center.

PENNIES FOR THE POOL . . . KEEP MARENGO SWIMMING!
T
he Pennies for the Pool Committee is a group of individuals dedicated to raising funds for the replacement of the current pool to serve the community of Marengo. Our current pool was built in 1975. The condition of the pool and the infrastructure supporting it has deteriorated beyond repairs and will need to be replaced soon. The city has made some minor repairs lately but those are just band-aid repairs to keep it functioning until funds can be raised to replace the pool. Our group formed in June of 2010. Since then we have been working hard at fundraisers to create a start up fund and to fund a plan for the pool. We have exceeded our fundraising goals to date and have raised $25,000. We have had members come up with many creative ideas for fundraisers. These have included pool parties, Schwan’s sales, sports signs and driveway paintings that show school spirit, concession stands, Tiny Tigers sports camps for younger children, Make and Take craft days for elementary aged kids, dances for junior high aged youth, Trivia Night and partnering with the Lion’s Club to make funnel cakes and host fundraising dinners. We have a small but energetic group working to raise money for our pool. We have experienced great support from
the community and especially our local businesses. We would like to invite everyone who cares about rebuilding the Marengo Municipal Pool to join our group and contribute your time, ideas and funding to this project. It is a wonderful place of summertime enjoyment for our community’s children and adults alike. If you grew up in Marengo, chances are, you learned to swim at the city pool. Our total project cost will be around $2,000,000. We won’t be able to raise all of this through fundraisers so we will also be asking for donations from individuals and businesses along with applying for any grants we can find. We would like to raise over half the funds needed in order for the city to be able to afford to replace the pool.
