The park is on the site of the Indian Agency that became the home of the Sauk and Meskwaki (Fox) tribes.^[2] They were relocated by the United States after the Black Hawk War of 1832. General Joseph M. Street was appointed the Indian Agent and settled with his family on the agency. He earned the respect of the Meskwaki chief Wapello.^[3] When Street died in 1840 he was buried on the agency and the tribes gave property to his wife so she and her family could make a living. Two years later Wapello was buried next to General Street. Other graves include those of Eliza Street and their children, and Major John Beach who was the Street’s son-in-law and who replaced General Street as Indian Agent.
