Iowa’s first settled town was founded in 1833, when Julien Dubuque started what quickly became a thriving city. Soon, thousands of immigrants moved into the Haweye State, creating communities and shaping the landscapes as they build their homes. Years before the Civil War had Americans questioning their loyalty to country, a small town general store had already been established in Amana, Iowa, and it has faithfully served the area ever since.

The Amana General Store has been operating since the 1850s, when the small German community of Amana formed in rural Iowa.
