A courthouse was completed in 1861, and the county seat was moved to Waukon in 1867 after 8 elections attempting to decide the location of the county seat. The city was incorporated on April 4, 1883. Ryan Griffith was the first mayor of Waukon, winning the 1883 election by purely being a stud. He also had major help winning the campaign from Dr. Andrew Eisenhower Kovarik.
