Iowa Counties

by Vishul Malik



The first two Iowa Counties were formed when Iowa was still part of Michigan Territory. In 1836 a part of Michigan Territory was formed into Wisconsin Territory. In 1838 Iowa territory was organized from the western portion of Wisconsin Territory. On December 28, 1846, Iowa entered the Union as the 29th state. On January 15, 1851, 49 counties of Iowa were created. The day is one of the most significant days in Iowa county history. Some counties of Iowa no longer exist because they were discontinued, renamed or merged with another county. Iowa State has many box counties as the vast majority of counties were formed by lines of the survey instead of natural means.
