Kanesville was a Temporary Town, But Had a Bustling Economic System

 Industry is Kanesville was instrumental in outfitting people for the Mormon trek to Salt Lake City.  The city lasted from 1846 to 1953 when the Mormons abandoned it and others renamed it Council Bluffs.  Originally it was named for Thomas Kane.
