The town was laid out in 1862. A basic city block was 32 rods (528 feet) square, with each divided into 8 lots of 8 (132 feet) x 16 (264 feet) rods. The lots were numbered clockwise, commencing at the southeast corner, as shown on Blocks 9 and 10 of Plat C.
The principal streets are 90 feet wide (enough for a team and wagon to turn around).
400 South (aka Parade Street) was 20 feet wider (from ??? to ???) to be used for community parades.
