Why this spot
1857 to mid-1900s bridge, mill and rail village
Village of three names (Xenia, Delanti, Secor) at one of the earliest Iowa River bridges in Hardin County, with a mill, a store, a blacksmith and wagon shop, three churches and about 100 people around 1865. A railroad station came in 1883 but growth never followed, and by the mid-1900s the school, mill, post office and businesses were gone.View source →
