Lincoln is located in Tama County. (another indian name). It used to
be named Berlin prior to 1920. Also, the Lincoln Highway runs right
through Iowa.
But I live in Poweshiek County. The county seat is Montezuma. Iowa
place names aren't always boring, like Ricketts or Ute. But don't plan
on skiing Vail, getting mugged in Brooklyn, shooting birds in Audubon,
speak Aussie in Sidney, Spannish in Peru, or Arabic in Persia.
