When the Chicago, Milwaukee, and Saint Paul railways made the decision to come to the junction of the Calamus and Indian Creek valleys, the people began moving to the railroad. J. W. Maxwell and F. M. Baldwin had purchased some land near the railroad, and gave the land upon which the first town of Maxwell was platted.
The town was after the donor and because he was the first to move there. Soon, large buildings were moved from Iowa Center and Peoria City to what is now the site of the town of Maxwell. The first building was the railroad depot. Several new buildings were constructed, the largest of which was occupied by the Mercantile firm of Maxwell and Baldwin and is now occupied by Logsdon's Grocery Store. Because of the excessive wet season and heavy snow of the winter of 1881–1882, there was a considerable flood.
Both creeks, surrounding the town, were out of their banks and formed one solid body of water just south of the depot, marooning many of the construction gangs who made their headquarters that winter in Maxwell. Because they could not work on account of the interference of the water, two saloons sprang up and did a flourishing business. Before the close of 1882, there were twelve or more business houses in town, and more under construction.
By 1887, there were 40 businesses located in Maxwell. Maxwell became incorporated in 1883, and a town election was held. The town hall was located behind the Maxwell Baldwin building. It had a cupola with a bell to ring in case of emergencies. The first church met at the lumber yard owned by J. O.
French. Planks were arranged as seats. Later, the Methodist and Presbyterian churches were built.
