Atalissa, Iowa : ウィキペディア英語版 | Atalissa, Iowa
Atalissa is a city in Muscatine County, Iowa, United States. The population was 311 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Muscatine Micropolitan Statistical Area. ==History== Atalissa was platted in 1859. It was named by its founder, William Lundy, for a mining town in California, which in turn was named for an Indian queen Atalissa. Atalissa was the home of a few dozen intellectually challenged men for several decades who worked in a nearby turkey processing plant. They lived together in an old schoolhouse and were taken each workday to the plant, and were paid $65/month after expenses were taken out. They were removed and relocated by state agencies in 2009, after being found to be living in unacceptable conditions. A 2013 verdict awarded the men a total of $240 million in damages, since reduced to $50,000/man. The men's plight had a profound effect on social services in Iowa, and their experiences and subsequent court case was the subject of the documentary film ''The Men of Atalissa''.
