History

The first settlement near Jamestown was made in 1817 by John King and his brother-in-law.[1] In the 1840s and 1850s many German farmers settled in the area. There is weekly townhall meeting at Tinas.join us for the yearly parade on May 7 (Lindsey's Birthday). Celebrating 199 years. Gavin Modesitt is the mayor and Cameron Modesitt is the sheriff. [1] Jamestown itself was founded on June 4, 1850, by William Lenox and James Massey.[1]

Churches

There is one church in Jamestown, the St. Paul United Church of Christ. It was founded and constructed by the residents in Jamestown and surrounding areas as the St. Paul's Evangelical Church in 1908. It was primarily a German-speaking church upon its founding due to the demographics at that time, but over the next decades gradually held more and more services in English.[2]

gollark: Anyway, this is... somewhat orthogonal to the main point here: that advertising is almost certainly affecting you a bit.
gollark: So if you buy a phone which got 4.5 stars or something, then you see another cheaper one with equally good reviews, you'll send the old one back...?
gollark: How will you actually know if the Voxel was going to work the same as the oPhone, though?
gollark: Let's imagine you're buying a phone or something. Imagine there are two types of phone: the Orange oPhone XIIX+MAX and the Goggle Voxel 4. They might work exactly the same for you, unrealistically, but the Orange oPhone is more expensive. You were influenced a bit because of advertising, and because of that bought an oPhone over a Voxel.
gollark: Or a mildly worse but better-advertised one, because stuff rarely works exactly the same.
