Williamsburg is a city in Iowa County, Iowa, United States. The population was 3,346 at the time of the 2020 census.[2] Williamsburg is known for Holden's Foundation Seeds, a foundation seed corn company, and Kinze Manufacturing, Inc., a farm implement manufacturer. Aviation pioneer Eugene Ely was born outside Williamsburg.

History

Williamsburg was laid out in 1856 by a Welsh immigrant, Richard Williams. [3] In 1860 the town petitioned to receive a post office, and Homer Paige was declared the post master. Paige named the post office Stellalopolis, after his youngest daughter Stella. [4] This was likely in an attempt to differentiate the town from nearby Millersburg. In the 1870s there was an attempt to change the name to Chester, and deeds from that decade often list the town as “Chester, formerly Williamsburg.” [5] The name disputes were ended in 1885, when the town was incorporated as Williamsburg after the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad passed through the year before and brought a population boom.[4]
