Sigourney, Iowa in a photo postcard sent on August 16, 1915

Keokuk County was opened for Euro-American settlement in 1843, and the town got its start in 1844 when S.A. James built the first cabin there. Other families began to settle there as well, and in 1844, the town was named by county commissioner Dr. George H. Stone in honor of popular poet Lydia Sigourney. A large oil-painted portrait of her still graces the foyer of the county courthouse.[5]
