Zenorsville (or Zenorville) is an unincorporated community in Boone County, in the U.S. state of Iowa. [1]
Zenorsville is located at 42°06′26″N93°43′05″W / 42.10722°N 93.71806°W , [1] in the northeastern part of Jackson Township.
Zenorsville was founded in Section 12 [2] of Jackson Township after the discovery of coal deposits in the mid-1870s. At its peak, Zenorsville had around 400 residents. The community had a store, school, blacksmith shop, other businesses, and a church. [3]
Several mines in Zenorsville operated. The coal was considered the best in the state, according to a 1909 state geological survey. However, coal mining in Zenorsville was discontinued sometime prior to 1909. [4] An 1886 mining report blamed the decline in coal mining in Zenorsville on a new rail line north from Ames. [5]
The post office at Zenorsville was established in 1876 and was discontinued in 1900. [6]
A 1914 history of Boone County states that when the mines declined, the shanties in Zenorsville were sold and removed, as residents moved elsewhere. [3]
Zenorsville's population was estimated at 300 in 1887, [7] and was 367 in 1902. [8]
