Urbandale, Iowa
The streetcar line to Urbandale was built in 1905, and the owners ended it in a turnaround at 70th and Roseland when they could not buy right of way farther northwest. Trolley Park marks the spot today, and the Urbandale Historical Society says service ran until 1951. The homes near that line are among the city's earliest.
Urbandale grew up along the trolley because commuters rode it to Des Moines. The earliest homes sit near the route and have the longest history. A line that old may have been patched or replaced in sections.
