<p><b>New page</b></p><div>OLD MISSION ROAD. On January 13, 1841, an act to establish a territorial road from the town of Dubuque to Camp (Fort) Atkinson, a distance of 100 miles, was approved. The road between these two points was to be the most direct and feasible route (highest ground) regardless of sectional or divisional lines. Calvert Roberts, Samuel L. Clifton, and Joseph Hewett, an Indian trader from near present-day Arlington, were appointed commissioners to locate the road. The men were paid $40.50 each for their services.<br />
<br />
Old Mission Road started at Dubuque and ended at Fort Atkinson. Fort Atkinson was the only fort built to protect Indians from other Indians. The Old Mission Road went through Greeley, Strawberry Point, Arlington, and Fayette. It went from York (about 3 miles Southwest of Edgewood) across Lodomillo Township and Cass Township, to Strawberry Point, keeping its diagonal course along East and West Mission Streets. From Strawberry Point the road crossed the northeast corner of Putnam Township in Fayette County to Arlington, where today it is also Arlington’s Main Street.<br />
