Dunkerton is a city in Black Hawk County, Iowa, United States. The population was 852 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Waterloo–Cedar Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area. ==History==
In 1853, two brothers, James and John Dunkerton, walked from Dubuque, Iowa, to stake out a claim of land near Lester. This claim became the town known as Lesterton, and later Dunkerton. In 1854, John died and was buried in the small cemetery which now holds 4 generations of Dunkertons. James remained and built up his land. In 1855, he married his cousin, Joanne. At 60 years of age, James and his eldest son, sold a portion of their land to the railroad, requesting that the railroad be extended to Iowa. This act enabled the present City of Dunkerton to be established.
