In the Polk County courthouse you can find the county court and the district court (Box 4470 each of which is in their respective Fifth judicial district. You can roll merrily along in Polk county on US 81 which meets where it turns East with SR 92 and SR 69. |
About the area |
Polk county includes Osceola, Polk, Shelby and Stromsburg cities. Founded around 1871 by two settlers, Osceola was given its name by a third settler who had moved here from Osceola, Iowa. Following the drought years of 1893 to 1895 which resulted in a hard life, further hardship was visited on the city when a fire destroyed all but two buildings. However the city was rebuilt and continued on, even later on building a new high school in the 1970's and a new sports complex early in the 1980's. In addition to historical buildings located throughout the city and county the Polk County Historical Society grounds is the site of a museum, sod house, log cabin, country church, country school, a Union Pacific caboose and the Governor's Arboretum. Osceola has only one park, which allows overnight parking; but the park has an Olympic sized swimming pool, illuminated tennis courts with synthetic surface, a ballpark, picnic areas and and shelters. |
