The below list of Towns/Cities includes every Town/City, past or present, as well as the County and
Township in which they are, or were, located. A Town/City that is listed twice, or in some cases three or more
times, does not necessarily mean that there was a Town/City by that name in each County or Township. It may mean
that the Town/City listed, lies on the border between Counties or Townships and extends into the neighboring County
or Townships. If you know of a Town/City that does not appear on this list, please let us know and we will add
it. For example: a Grandmother was born in Levy, Iowa, a small town southeast of Des Moines and it was not on
the original lists so I have added it. Also shown are old Post Offices which appear as (P.O.). In the County
listings, the Town which is the County Seat is listed as "C. S.". The list is presented alphabetically by
by County, then Township, then by Town/City name. Some Towns were found with different spellings, so both spellings
were included in this list. Please note this list in this format, is copyrighted and requires the authors written
permission to reproduce it in any way. Any errors or questions about this list should also be brought to our
attention for correction. If you know with any certainty, which Township the Towns listed alphabetically between
the multicolored lines belong in, we would appreciate you letting us know. Thank You!
