The town's story begins on January 1, 1855, when forty acres of land were deeded to Levi Pangborn by the United States Government. The settlement was first known as Hague when the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad pushed westward in 1881, and it was officially renamed Atkins on February 13, 1882, after a railroad official. Atkins had strategic value as the midway point between Omaha and Chicago on the Milwaukee Road, and in 1915, the railroad invested $880,000 to expand its terminal facilities, transforming Atkins from scattered stores and houses into a proper business and farming center.
Atkins has experienced significant residential growth in recent decades, attracting families and professionals who appreciate its small-town atmosphere combined with easy commuting distance to Cedar Rapids and the broader Linn County metropolitan area. The town was officially incorporated in 1917, when the first Town Council meeting was held on May 17 of that year. Today, Atkins offers quality housing, friendly neighborhoods, and a strong sense of community that makes it an attractive place to put down roots. The surrounding Benton County farmland provides scenic beauty and connects the town to Iowa's agricultural heritage. Local events, youth sports programs, and community gatherings keep the spirit of neighborliness alive in this welcoming town.
