Allamakee County, Administrative county in northeastern Iowa, United States
Allamakee County occupies 659 square miles of land featuring high-walled canyons carved into bedrock by rivers along the Mississippi River boundary.
Established in 1847, the county's first courthouse from 1861 now serves as the Allamakee County Historical Museum, preserving local heritage.
The territory holds evidence of Native American settlements, including Ho-Chunk and Dakota Sioux tribes, represented at Effigy Mounds National Monument.
The county seat of Waukon provides administrative services at 110 Allamakee Street, with office hours from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday.
Located in the Driftless Area, this region remained untouched by glaciers during the last ice age, resulting in distinctive geological formations.
