Pocahontas County, Iowa A Brief History http://www.uiowa.edu/~osa/regions/nwest/pocahont.htm [ Edit ] Site Reviews(0)
...Soon after the county's formal organization in March, 1859, there was a petition for the location of a county seat. Three commissioners were appointed, but only two of them visited the newly-formed county. Those two commissioners selected 200 acres near the West Fork of the Des Moines River. The original name of the town was Highland, or Highland City. Over the years it underwent several name changes; from Highland to Milton to (Old) Rolfe and finally to Parvin.
The first courthouse was built in Rolfe, as it was then called. Swamp land funds paid for a two-story, 36-foot x 50-foot Classic Revival courthouse. It was constructed of bricks that were fired on the site and timber from nearby woods. Lumber was sawed at the sawmill in Rolfe. The second floor of the courthouse was used as a school; at this time the entire county was organized into one school district.

Rolfe family pays tribute to America - Ft Dodge Messenger http://www.messengernews.net/stories_archive_full.asp?artID=1220&artTable=Top%20Stories [ Edit ] Site Reviews(0)
...A weathered old corn crib stood on the Dennis and Lois Shimon farm property south of Rolfe. The paint was bare and peeling, a victim of way too many summers since Dennis Shimon built it in 1954. But the three gleaming Harvestore silos now served their purpose and the crib was pretty much forgotten.
That was until Nancy Foertsch of Algona made the comment, ‘‘this would be a great place for a flag.’’...
