註釋The story of Humboldt County begins with a settlement of

progressive dissenters and New England conservatives in north

central Iowa. It is the tale of land-starved Scandinavian and Northern

European immigrants who traveled to the area seeking rich soil for

their farms. Early settlement in the county began in 1854, and Dakota

City became the county seat. In 1863, the Reverend Stephen H. Taft

brought a colony of his followers to form Springvale, now the city

of Humboldt. After the coming of the railroad in 1879, the county

prospered from the sale of agricultural products and equipment. Today,

new industries are attracted to Humboldt County's skilled labor force,

work ethic, and high quality of life. The combination of high-tech

school facilities and a wide range of recreational opportunities attracts

thousands of people every year.
