Anamosa was founded as Buffalo Forks in 1838. It was named Lexington in 1856 but renamed Anamosa when the city was incorporated in 1877. Local lore credits the city name after a local Native American girl named Anamosa, which means white fawn. Anamosa is home to the National Motorcycle Museum, which features many vintage motorcycles, including the only original Captain American bike from the movie Easy Rider.
