Fort Atkinson, Iowa is named for The Military Post of Fort Atkinson. This fort was constructed in 1840 and is an historic site.
The fort has been preserved, and every year the community celebrates Rendezvous Days, which is a free event and open to the public.
From the City of Fort Atkinson website:
In the broader context, the story of the military post of Fort Atkinson is a story of the United States government policy in removing native Americans from the east side of the Mississippi River over to the west side. In the narrower context, the story is about the life of the inhabitants of the ‘neutral ground’ of the northeast Iowa Territory from 1840-1848.
