Scores of Towns on Early Maps of Iowa Are Things of Past
Des Moines reports that many town names on 1868 Iowa maps were changed or vanished. State curator EF R Harlan notes Uncle Abe in Davis County no longer exists, Melbourne in the northeast faded, and Magnolia in Harrison County shrank to a tiny type. Council Bluffs underwent multiple name changes from Miller's Hill to Hart's Bluffs to Trader's Point before becoming Kanesville and finally Council Bluffs in 1853.

Iowa’s unusual town names arose from diverse origins. Moville and Modale reflect Missouri abbreviations, Preparation traces to Mormon secession, Deep River and Storm Lake derive from natural features, Correctionville from a survey term, Calamus from a sweet flag, and Mechanicsville Salix and Woodbine from early settlers and local flora.
