SMALL-TOWN FLAVOR I
n 1854, a man settled on a piece of land and built a log house in what was then called Sand Creek, but shortly thereafter became “Jordan.” Jordan’s first structures were crude log cabins. These later gave way to modest, but sturdier, structures. Often they were made of brick from a local quarry. Today, Jordan’s downtown area has become an antique shoppers’ paradise, with dealers selling their wares from a variety of buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Jordan residents are proud of beautiful Lagoon Park. Complete with a year-round running waterfall, the park

is located on the edge of the spring-fed Mill Pond. In recent years, the city has made many improvements to the park, including wrought iron railings, paved walking and bicycle paths, fishing rocks and pier, a fountain and a beach. The beauty, safety and peaceful atmosphere of this area have made it a favorite recreational spot for Jordan residents. As growth occurs, the city will strive to preserve the community’s small-town flavor. Jordan honors its history during the annual Heimatfest celebration.
