Orange City was founded in 1869�1870 as a colony of Dutch Americans from Pella. Led by Henry Hospers; the colonists made Orange City the center of Dutch agricultural expansion in northwestern Iowa and farther west. By 1874; the town had railroad connections; was the seat of Sioux County; and had a Dutch-language weekly newspaper that was read in the Netherlands as well as around North America. Hospers; along with others; founded an academy in 1882 to train young people in the classics and the Reformed faith. By the 1930s; the academy was maturing into what is now Northwestern College. The town�s populace has never been exclusively Dutch; nevertheless; the Dutch heritage of the settlement has remained central to Orange City�s identity. A tulip festival held in 1936 became an annual event that continues to draw tens of thousands of visitors each May. In 1986; a Dutch-front initiative was launched that has transformed much of the town with a distinctive Dutch look.

Not many pictures and all are fairly simplistic when it comes to an adult coloring book. Not something I will open again. Just glad it didnt cost me anything
