Town of Hepburn to disincorporate

Hepburn, in Page County, the 932nd-largest town* in Iowa in 2020, is discontinuing its official existence. The Clarinda Herald-Journal reports that the process has been underway for months. The county will take over the streets and individuals will have to pay for streetlights if they want to keep them around.

When the disincorporation is final, Iowa will have 940 incorporated places. The City Development Board minutes in February said there could be “a discontinuance or two” in upcoming months.

*Technically, Hepburn is tied with Coburg and Galt at 930th, but I’m sub-ranking by alphabetical order. It’s easier to set the list that way.
