Ankeny, Iowa
Ankeny (/ˈeɪŋkəni/, /ˈæ-/) is a city in Polk County, Iowa and a suburb of the state capital of Des Moines, as part of the Des Moines-West Des Moines, IA metropolitan statistical area.[4] Population estimates by the United States Census Bureau put the 2018 population at approximately 65,284.[5] Currently, the city's incorporated area totals 29.14 square miles.[4]
Ankeny was founded as an agrarian community on April 22, 1875 by John Fletcher Ankeny and Sarah "Sally" Ankeny (née Wolgamot) on eighty acres purchased on July 11, 1874, for US$1,600. The town, a single square mile, was formally incorporated on February 28, 1903.[8][9][10]
Railroad was eventually laid from Des Moines to Ames, via Ankeny. This rail was completed in 1874 and passenger service established on July 11, 1880 for 33 cents. In the 19th century, the city's industry was primarily agriculture — specifically sorghum and swine production. The former was processed at a nearby mill, while the latter were driven to the market at Keokuk, Iowa.[8][9]
A local newspaper, the Ankeny Times, began publication on May 17, 1902. Utilities continued to slowly develop with telephone service in 1903 and sparse electricity in 1907: residential electricity only became widespread in 1919, after the Central Light and Power Company were authorized to construct a power plant and operate in the city.[8][9][11]
