Ricketts, IA

Remember a long time ago when Rick Show brought you the story of Rickardsville, IA?  Regardless, I've recently found out that there's another small town, Ricketts, IA, that I should make note of.  It's in Crawford county, in the western part of the state.  Population 145.

Ricketts was founded in 1899 as a result of the Boyer Railroad Company building a line in the county.  It is believed that the town got its name from a Mr Ricks that had recently died.  You can browse the rest of origins of the town here.
