Larland was a rural unincorporated community in Audubon County, Iowa, in the United States.[1] It was located about 9 miles east of Aududon, the county seat, in Melville Township.[2]
History[edit]
A rural farming community,[3] a post office was established in Larland on April 30, 1890, and remained in operation until it was discontinued on May 15, 1902.[4] Larland was located in the eastern part of Melville Township,[5] near the county line.
The community once had a general store,[2] and more than one rural school was located in Larland,[6] including the Union Schools and the Melville Schools.
Larland's population was 28 in 1902,[7] and 30 in 1924.[8] Years of rural migration emptied the area, and by 1932, Larland was considered abandoned.[9] The Des Moines Register noted in 1989 the community no longer existed.[10]
