Description:

Over 200 named locations are detailed in this book. From sites that had post offices, such as Palisades or Rural; to first names of towns, such as Columbus for Cedar Rapids or Brown for Springville; or spelling changes such as Prairiesburg or Priarieburgh; to nicknames such as Pin Hook for Mt. Vernon or Grove City for Marion; to named landmarks such as Buck Horn Grove or Katieville; all are included in this book. Did you know there were two La Fayette's in Linn County at the same time? Or that there was a village by the name of Mondieu and that it had a post office? These and more have been researched by the author. This is a great book to carry in your car as you travel around Linn County. How many sites can you locate?
