Iveyville is an unincorporated community or ghost town [2] in Adams County, Iowa, United States. [1]
A post office was opened in Iveyville in 1885, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1903. [2] The community was named for B.F. Ivey, who lived in nearby Corning before relocating to Iveyville. [3]
Iveyville, located in Jasper Township, [2] was described as a "prosperous village", [4] with a woodmen's hall and the Farmers Creamery in the late 1800s. [5] [6] Iveyville's only church was the Methodist Episcopal church; a general store was operated by O. T. Muzzy. The community also had a town hall on the second floor of the store, as well as a blacksmith shop and a grist mill. The Tanner Bros operated a hardware store in Iveyville. [3]
Iveyville's population was 46 in 1902, [7] but the closure of the post office in the community "finished" the village, according to a news story in the Adams County Free Press. [4] In 1922, the last business in Iveyville, the blacksmith shop, relocated to nearby Nodaway. [4] By 1925, Iveyville's population was 30. [8]
By the 1930s, Iveyville was no longer marked on regional maps, and did not appear on the 1930 Adams County plat map.
