About Urbandale, Iowa
Urbandale is a city in Polk and Dallas counties in the U.S. state of Iowa. Before Urbandale was incorporated, citizens raised $2,000 to build a two room schoolhouse and by 1916 it was ready to be used. To avoid being part of the Johnston School District, it needed to establish their own school district and could be done if it was legally incorporated. Urbandale has one historical site on the National Register of Historic Places, the Olmsted Family Farmhouse. In 1904 the house was built, and in 1937, 10 acres of land was used for building plots. The Urbandale Historical Society bought the house in 1987. (Wikipedia)
