Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sac City is a city in Sac County, Iowa, United States, situated in the rolling hills along the valley of the North Raccoon River, in one of America's prime agricultural regions. U.S. Route 20 bisects the city, forming its Main Street, and the city is one of 46 designated Main Street Iowa communities through the Main Street Iowa development program. The population was 2,368 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Sac County. Sac City was first platted in 1855 by Joshua Keith Powell of Fort Dodge, Iowa. The town was so named because the Sac and Fox Indians (sometimes known as the Sauk and Fox - the French name "Sac" and the English equivalent "Sauk" are both correct and interchangeable. Both words were derived from the Indian word "Asakiwaki", meaning "yellow earth people") were in possession of the land at the time of the Louisiana Purchase. The City of Sac City was incorporated nineteen years later, in 1874.
