District Boundary Lines - 1917
See minutes from the board of directors (to the right) for orginal boundary
lines in 1914 and then expanded boundary lines in 1917. Section 20 was altered when the board approved two neighborhoods to become part of the
Des Moines School District. Information could not be found in district records as to when the southern boundary line in Urbandale changed. Polk
County Assessors have on record the current boundary lines for the district showing in 1939.
