Actually, there is an official way to number Iowa's counties. The numbers are assigned sequentially to the alphabetized list (i.e., Adair being #01, and Wright being #99).— Ëzhiki (erinaceus bud ) 16:59, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

Hi On 9 August 2007 14:29 I edited this page because I seen the Numerical table "cover" Map of counties with numbers. The botton-left of image is hidden by Numerical table. So, I added additional spacing. Maybe, this problem is on my computer only. Hi —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.79.57.39 ( talk) 12:50, August 22, 2007 (UTC)
I think the work by Psychless is great with the exception that you can no longer find a county based on location. That was the point of the "by number" list. I restored it. Cburnett 18:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
The US Census data for Iowa counties is now available at
Factfinder2. I was going to update this list but when I looked at it I got to wondering about how to designate the Population heading to show 2010. I do not know if it is possible, so at least for now I have not updated the list. Anybody have a suggestion?

Lee County was formed in 1836. This was almost 30 years before Robert Lee's national fame. Iowa was a Union state not a Confederate state. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.152.100.4 ( talk) 17:39, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

"the number in the column headed "Map #" is used by the National Atlas of the United States, shown on the left" -- what is shown on the left of what, where? 104.153.40.58 ( talk) 13:53, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
The intro mentions that Iowa's counties are unusually artificial in shape, with many 'box-shaped' counties. Most of them are even in rows. But two of the rows have weird shapes in all of them. In the Dubuque to Woodbury row, as you go west, each county gradually gets a larger and larger chunk to the West at their Northern edge. The Harrison-to-Johnson row has something similar but at the counties' southern edge. WHY IS THIS?! I came to this article specifically hoping it would be mentioned. 2601:408:C402:BB8:25BC:A4B8:DA73:8007 ( talk) 18:58, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
The diagram highlighting Iowa County highlights the entire state. Although that is technically correct (and pretty funny) as all the counties highlighted are counties in Iowa, I would like to see Iowa County specifically :) 65.155.240.194 ( talk) 20:35, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
