Woodbury County, County seat in western Iowa, United States
Woodbury County encompasses 878 square miles of land with diverse topography, including rolling hills, farmlands, and the Missouri River along its western border.
Established in 1851 as Wahkaw County, the territory received its current name in 1853 to honor Levi Woodbury, a Supreme Court Justice and former US Secretary of the Treasury.
The Winnebago Tribe maintains reservation lands within the county boundaries, preserving their traditions and contributing to the local community development.
The county government operates through regular Board of Supervisors meetings at the courthouse in Sioux City, managing public services for over 105,000 residents.
During Prohibition, Sioux City gained recognition as a distribution center for alcohol, leading law enforcement to nickname the area Little Chicago.
