| On the 24th of August, 1839, Jacob LYBRAND deed to the county a tract of land described as the north half of the west half of the southwest quarter of section 35, township 2 north, range 7 east.. This was to secure the location of the county seat at this place. After several other additions, it was incorporated in the spring of 1858. |
