I am writing a paper and came across the fact that Iowa City is called the Athens of the West. Can you tell me why Iowa City received this nickname?
We are sorry but we do not have immediate access to the answer to your question. Our suggestion is to contact the Iowa City Public Library. (319) 356-5200. Good luck in your research.
