Balfour is an unincorporated community in Mills County, in the U.S. state of Iowa.

Geography

Balfour is 4 miles (6.4 km) from the county seat of Glenwood.[2]

History

Balfour was founded in 1902 when the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad bypassed Hillsdale. The new rail line opened in August 1904; Balfour soon had a stockyard, rail station, and general store/post office.[3]

Balfour and Hebard were declared as "new towns" on the railroad by the Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil, replacing Hillsdale and Hawthorne, towns now without rail access and saving the C.B.& Q. Railway 6.5 miles (10.5 km) of track, and more importantly to the railway, making the grade less steep.[4]

The grange hall at Hillsdale was moved to Balfour and was dedicated on December 12, 1912.[3]

Balfour's population was 25 in 1920.[5]

By the 1930s, Balfour was being abandoned. The stockyards were used until 1939.[3]

The population was 30 in 1940.[2] The rail station was removed in the 1940s. Today, all that remains in Balfour are a few houses.[3]
