It wasn't until recently that I even knew this place existed. And for that I am sorry. And it's IN IOWA!!!
Per Wikipedia, Rickardsville is hovering a bit under 200 people and it's almost a square mile.
It is also a tough place to find much out about on the internet. Apparently they don't believe in publicizing themselves online.
I managed to find out that it was named for Salmon Rickard (h/t to La Salle Catholic School for putting some church history online to help me out a bit). It is the proud (I hope) home of Avalon Service Center, so if any of you ever have a need for trailers, give them a ring.
(see? there is it.)
I would encourage you to scroll around the satellite map of the area. The fields look cool.
Anybody know anything about Rickardsville, IA that we should know?
