Email Address: clover@nckcn.com About this Exploration: In 1914, Cawker City hosted the semi-annual Mitchell County Old Settlers Reunion. Centerpiece of the celebration was the dedication of a "monumental drinking fountain," a gift of Miss Lenora Cawker of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in memory of her father E. Harrison Cawker, who founded the town in 1871. Cawker won the right to have the city named after him in a poker game. This fountain got the community started on creating the City Park. The fountain is on the west side of the Park on Lake Drive. |
