The 897th-largest town in Iowa isn’t a town anymore.
KCRG reports that Randalia, in Fayette County, officially unincorporated on June 30. The town’s population was 84 in 2000, but had fallen to 50 in 2020. The story said that to settle the city’s debts, the clerk had to sell the town’s playground equipment.
Now we know what the “D” stands for in the City Development Board’s agendas. “D24-01 Randalia” was taken up in the June meeting.
Iowa Highway 267, formerly a piece of Iowa Highway 93, served Randalia from 1934 to 1980.
As of this month, Iowa has 940 incorporated places.
