Strand was an unincorporated community in Adams County, Iowa, United States.[1]
History[edit]
Strand was founded by Norwegian settlers. The Strand Lutheran Church began services on May 21, 1875,[2] and still has an active congregation today.
The post office at Strand was established in 1889, and operated until 1903[3] or 1909, closing with the introduction of rural free delivery.[2]
The Lovig Store in Strand operated in the late 1800s, and changed hands in 1895.[4]
Strand's population was 28 in 1902.[5]
Strand appeared on some maps of Iowa in the early 20th century,[6] but the community went into decline; the church and cemetery remain.
