ALTOONA, IA
Incorporated as a city in 1876, Altoona covers a land area of 9.3 square miles, home to a modest population of almost 18,000 people. Located in Polk County, it’s part of the Des Moines metropolitan area.
The area that’s now Altoona was first settled in 1854, and by the turn of the 20th century, the city could be classified as a coal camp. Altoona today is home to the amusement park Adventureland, the horse racing track and casino Prairie Meadows, and the first Bass Pro Shops retail store in central Iowa. Altoona’s oldest building is now a museum open to the public.
