Aaron layed out the town of Peru, Iowa found in The Delicious Apple 100
years 1872-1972 Historical Significance.
Fenimores in Iowa by Jerri Fredin
The first mill on Clanton Creek was built in 1851 in Walnut Twp by Aaron
Hiatt and his brother-in-law , Benjamin Brown (B. 1825, Chester Co., Pa.) near the site where Hiatt laid out Peru. THe Hiatts, like the Clantons and Foxes (in laws of Hartwell Ogburn) were originally from N.C. and were among the first to enter land in Wayne Co., Ind. (Shortly after 1810).
Hiatt laid out Peru in 1855 on land he had entered, naming the town after Peru, Ind. He named Brown street after Benjamin. Peru, Iowa was the business and social center for the Fenimores and Ogburns for over 50 years.
Aaron Hiatt and his brothers, Jesse and Elam, promoted the building of the first church around 1859.
In 1887 the Chicago Great Western Railroad Company laid a track just a mile southeast of Peru beside the site of Aaron Hiatt's sawmill. People living in Peru began to move closer to the railroad trakcs and East Peru was established. (The original town of Peru is no longer known as such, but is referred to locally as Old Peru, while East Peru is presently called Peru. The site of the original town is now farmland.)
East Peru was laid out in 1887 on land owned by William Henry See whose
father, John See, had lived in the same counties in Indiana as the Genimores,
Ogburns, and Hiatts.
