Sterling has a story worth telling. The Internet Archive puts it this way: "The first traveled road was from the present city of Sterling to Gap Grove,
and was laid out by Hezekiah Brink in the primitive manner of the time, by
cutting down a small tree and hitching his oxen to it, and then having it
dragged over the prairie, the distance between the places being seven miles."
Sterling is a city in Whiteside County. The Census Bureau counted 14,764 people here in 2020.
