Appanoose County, Iowa
Appanoose County is a county located in the U.S. state of Iowa. As of the 2010 census, the population was 12,884.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/19/19007.html )〕 Its county seat is Centerville.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕
The county was once a major coal-mining region. In recent decades, the state has made a mostly-unsuccessful effort to develop manufacturing as an alternate form of employment. A Rubbermaid plant was the county's largest private employer until the company announced, in June 2006, that the plant, located in the Centerville industrial park, would relocate to Winfield, Kansas in October of that year. As a result of the closure and the failure of local officials to recruit new employers to the county, unemployment in Appanoose County has consistently ranked among the highest in the state of Iowa.
== History ==
Appanoose County was formed on February 17, 1843, from open territory. It was named for the Meskwaki Chief Appanoose, who did not engage in war against Black Hawk, advocating peace. The present county seat was formerly called Chaldea, and was later renamed to Senterville in honor of Congressman William Tandy Senter of Tennessee. In April 1848, the courthouse, constructed at the expense of $160, was put into use and served as such until 1857. The second courthouse was opened in 1864, and was burned down to the first floor during an explosive Fourth of July fireworks demonstration. The third courthouse was dedicated on May 21, 1903, and remains in use.〔(Appanoose County )〕
After the death of Appanoose County native Morgan E. Cline, who was born in Exline, Iowa but spent the majority of his life in New Jersey, there has been a small but dedicated effort on the part of some to rename the county to "Cline County" in his honor, due to his establishment of some local businesses, gift shops and ice cream parlors, chiefly, in Exline and Centerville.
