Where Eddyville sits

Eddyville is in southeast Iowa on the Des Moines River, in farm country where corn and soybeans are the main crops. The region is home to large grain-processing operations, which is why bulk food-grade trucking matters here. It is a long haul south and west of Cedar Rapids, so planning lanes ahead matters.

• Eddyville is one of the few towns where three counties, Mahaska, Monroe and Wapello, meet inside the city limits. It had 970 residents in 2020.
• The town grew from a trading post Jabish P. Eddy opened around 1840 on a bend of the Des Moines River, before Iowa was a state.
• After major Des Moines River floods in 1947 and 1965, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built and later raised levees around the town.
