Birthplace of William Eldon Chatfield:
EPWORTH, IOWA: Located in the northeast corner of Taylor Township, the town was named after the birthplace of John Wesley, in England. Epworth was founded after Otis Briggs, Zephaniah Kidder, and Hezekiah Young gave up about 40 acres of their land for a town in 1855. On March 1, 1880, Epworth was incorporated during a period of rapid economic development. A Methodist seminary was built in 1857 by the residents; today it is known as Divine Word College. Epworth was known as "Little Jerusalem" or "Holy City" due to the residents' stand against liquor; 1933 saw the first purchase of alcohol in a local tavern. Epworth is home for an early childhood center and one of two high schools in the Western Dubuque County School District.
