The History of MyFortDodge.com

MyFortDodge.com was originally created by Fort Dodge native Bill Grady as an e-commerce site to host KKEZ/KWMT's radio auction merchandise in February 2007. When the radio station ownership changed hands later that year, the agreement to host the radio auction on MyFortDodge was not continued by the new owners.

MyFortDodge was then converted to a social network platform in July 2007 and remained that way until September 2016. In September 2016, Bill Grady redesigned MyFortDodge to focus only on the most popular pages of the site, based on visitor data gathered over the previous 9 years.

The site continues to be locally owned and operated by Bill Grady and has grown over the past decade through the support of local advertising, Bill's time, knowledge and resources, and the ongoing support of our community.

In 2019, Fort Dodge Radio was launched. Fort Dodge Radio is a free online radio station playing Iowa's Best Classic Rock. Fort Dodge Radio is one of the first commercial radio stations in Iowa to broadcast exclusively online.
