Lincoln Township, Polk County, Iowa

All but the northeast corner of the township attends the North Polk Community School District, in Alleman.

[9] The Fort Dodge, Des Moines, and Southern Railroad ran through the center of the township and where Alleman currently stands.

It was built in 1906 as a commuter line between Des Moines and Fort Dodge, including a stop in Alleman.

[10] The trestle was rebuilt and still stands today located in public land and carries an access road for a radio tower.

The line was bought by the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad in 1968, and abandoned in the early 1980s, although by that point it was disused.

[11][5] The old rail station still exists today as a private residence, and there are no future plans for a trail connection along the railbed.

The Palmer Post Office existed from 1871 to 1885, located just north of the current corner of 16th Street and 134th Avenue.
