Abraham Lincoln visited Council Bluffs to discuss purchasing land that his campaign manager, Norman Judd, had hoped to use as a collateral for a personal loan. Lincoln eventually bought up 17 plots of land in the vicinity to aid his coworker and friend. Perhaps, not the most pressing of national matters but the name stuck and that’s the point.
“Council Bluffs is such a beautiful town with a rich history, and we want to be the best community member we can. It was simply too hard to pass up the opportunity to bring something different and creative to the town and showcase its history. We hope you enjoy your visit!” – the LP Crew
