Application to Join the Fire Department

     Avoca was established in 1869 when the Rock Island Railroad came through from Des Moines going to Council Bluffs.  Our name came from a poem by Thomas Moore called "The Meeting of the Waters."  This derived from an old Irish tale, "Vale of Avoca," meaning where the bright waters meet.
