Courthouse battles in Jones county through 1920
Jones county’s long fight over the seat moved from Edinburg to Newport and finally Anamosa amid bids, recalls, and a string of courthouses. Early centers, log cabins, and a famed Jones County Calf Case highlight a century of politics, relocations, and public works culminating in 1937 with a new $200,000 courthouse.
