History
Within historical records, a man with the name Israel Atherton purchased the land around present-day Dallas City in 1836. He built a log cabin but he didn’t seem to stay very long. He sold the land to John Finch, who built a village, which today is still recognized as, Dallas City. It was laid out in 1848, and named in honor of George Mifflin Dallas, 11th Vice President of the United States of America, from 1845 to 1849. A post office has been in operation at Dallas City since 1850.
