Edinburg and the Long Drive to Anamosa Jones County Seat Battle
Early settlers in Jones County faced a brutal struggle to locate the county seat. Commissioners chose Edinburg near the county center, but only a few buildings rose before the site failed. A log courthouse served, with Judge Wilson from Dubuque presiding. William Hutton built a shop and a makeshift hotel, yet no officers resided there as clerks lived elsewhere. By 1846 legislative action began to shift the seat toward stability in Anamosa.

Battle over county seat shaping Anamosa’s fate in Iowa history
A citizens petition favored two candidate towns Newport and near Cascade for Jones County seat with Newport winning a popular vote but deemed a joke due to a single cabin. Lexington later renamed Anamosa to avoid mail conflicts, and multiple relocation attempts failed by vote from 1847 through 1874 concluding the site remained fixed in Anamosa after a bitter campaign against moving to Center Junction.
