Audubon County, located in the great state of Iowa, was established on January 15, 1851. The county is named after John James Audubon, a prominent naturalist, and painter of birds and wildlife imagery. The county's administrative center is the city of Audubon.
Audubon County experienced initial settlement in the late 1850s as pioneers were attracted to the area by the availability of vast, fertile land. The county saw significant growth during the mid-1860s and early 1870s, particularly due to the construction of the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad. Consequently, many small towns and communities emerged around the railway stations, with the city of Audubon being officially established in 1878.
Audubon County displays a rich agricultural heritage, with farming and livestock being the primary industries. Early settlers were mainly of Danish, German, and Irish descent, and their customs and traditions continue to shape the region even today.
One fun fact about Audubon County is the famous Albert the Bull - a 30-foot-tall, 45-ton concrete statue, erected in 1964, located within the city of Audubon. This iconic structure was created as a tribute to the region's thriving beef industry and is touted as the "World's Largest Bull." Albert remains a significant tourist attraction and a proud symbol of Audubon County's agricultural heritage.
