Republic is an unincorporated community in southern Chickasaw County, in the U.S. state of Iowa. [1]
A post office was established at Republic on February 1, 1887. [2]
Republic was platted in section 20 of Richland Township, one mile east of the center of the township, and about five miles southeast of Williamstown. [3]
Republic's population was 25 in 1887, [4] and was 27 in 1902. [5]
The Republic post office was discontinued on January 31, 1914. [2] In 1915, the population of Republic was 37. [6]
Republic had been a prosperous community, but by 1919, historians were calling the community, and nearby Williamstown, a memory, stating that the heyday of these two communities was long past. [7]
In January 1945, the Republic School was destroyed in a fire. The school was replaced with a new building, said to be "the best rural school building ever built in Chickasaw County," in November 1946. [8]
As late as the 1930s, Republic had two churches. [3] In 1947, the old Methodist church was moved from the north side of the highway to the south side, combining this structure with the Disciples Building. [9] The Republic Community Church still operates.
