Title

Cedar, IA, 1913; Cedar Township; Mahaska County; Iowa

Description

The town of Cedar was founded after it was forced to pick a town name by the postmaster, R.W. Moore. So, in 1869, after Moore was already appointed postmaster, he chose the name Cedar because it hadn't been picked yet after he perused the postal guide that he had. This is a map/plat of Cedar as it appeared in 1913.
