Hiawatha was founded by entrepreneur Fay Clark who built a trailer company and trailer court on farmland in the 1940s, spearheading incorporation in June 1950. Clark served as mayor and used his trailer factory to help veterans obtain homes; his contributions are commemorated with the 30-acre Fay M. Clark Memorial Park and a bridge built from trusses of his Quonset hut.
