Opposition to Renaming Mississippi River to Opossum Fork
A proposal by S. B. Olmstead to rename the Mississippi River section where it meets the Des Moines river to Opossum Fork was approved by the Iowa House 17 to 15 and the Senate 8 to 7. Its fate after passage is unclear, as it does not appear in the governor’s signed laws. The Mississippi name remains in use from source to gulf.
