Troy Mills Iowa's 21st Community in Linn County
Troy Mills, a village on the Wapsipinicon in Linn County, founded in 1853, grew from a dam and mill site to a thriving town with several stores and a post office. It later modernized with electric lights, bridges, an airport, and dial telephony, and today sustains three churches, a senior citizens group, a rescue unit, and about 36 commuters to Cedar Rapids.
