This site is along the original route of the Herbert Hoover Highway, a 42-mile series of local, state and county roads that run between the foot of Old Capitol in Iowa City and the Cedar County community of Lowden. The Hoover Highway was designated in 1923 by the Iowa Highway Commission as a tribute to the famine relief efforts of Herbert Hoover.



Between 1914 and 1923, food relief programs administered by Herbert Hoover fed an estimated 318 million victims of war and drought in Europe and the Soviet Union. In 1928, five years after the Herbert Hoover Highway was established, Hoover was elected 31st President of the United States. The Herbert Hoover Highway passes through West Branch, Hoover's boyhood home and the site of the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library - Museum.
