The most bizzare town I've ever been to in America, is Elkador, Iowa. The city is named after a Muslim Algerian leader, the Emir Abdelkader. When the community was platted in 1846, the founders, Timothy Davis, John Thompson and Chester Sage decided to name it for the young Algerian who was leading his people in resisting the French conquest of Algeria. The town is known for the Elkader Keystone Bridge over the Turkey River, said to be the largest stone arch bridge west of the Mississippi River. It, and many of the local buildings, are made from locally quarried sandstone. The town's grocery store, Wilke's, is the oldest continuously operated grocery store west of the Mississippi, as well.[citation needed] The city is also home to the renovated Victorian-era Elkader Opera House, and the Turkey River Mall, a 29-room hotel converted into antique stores. Keep in mind, this town in smack in the middle of nowhere in farmlands of Iowa. It also has one of the best Algerian restaurants I have ever eaten at. It was a trip watching farmers with suspenders on, eating Middle Eastern food as opposed to fried chicken.
