History & Context
Arnolds Park History Arnolds Park is a small city in Dickinson County, Iowa, United States. It is situated on the western shore of West Okoboji Lake, one of the Iowa Great Lakes. The city is named after an amusement park that was established in the late 1800s. The history of Arnolds Park dates back to 1864 when a settler named Samuel Green started a hotel on the shore of West Okoboji Lake. In 1873, a businessman named Wesley Arnold bought the hotel and the land around it. He started expanding the hotel and adding recreational facilities, including a dance hall and a pier. The pier became a popular destination for steamboat rides, and in 1889, Arnold decided to build an amusement park on the property. The amusement park quickly became a popular destination for visitors from all over the region. It featured a roller coaster, a merry-go-round, a Ferris wheel, and many other attractions. In 1933, a devastating fire destroyed much of the park, including the roller coaster and the dance hall.
