West Bend, Iowa : ウィキペディア英語版 | West Bend, Iowa
West Bend is a city in Kossuth and Palo Alto (originally) counties in the U.S. state of Iowa. The population was 785 at the 2010 census. ==History== West Bend had its start in the early 1880s by the building of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway through that territory. It was originally called Ives after the president of the railroad, but the townspeople had it changed to West Bend from the bend in the river. West Bend (aka Ives) was the first town in Palo Alto County. A special five cent tax to build a railroad station was promised to the railroad if they would create a stop when the railroad was built. The railroad did that placing the line and the new station in West Bend.
