Louisa County, County division in eastern Iowa, United States.
Louisa County encompasses 1,082 square kilometers of territory, with 41 square kilometers of water bodies including sections of the Mississippi River.
The county was established in 1836 as part of the Wisconsin Territory and later integrated into Iowa Territory upon its formation in 1838.
The Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge within the county provides natural habitats for numerous species and serves as an environmental conservation area.
The county courthouse in Wapello processes administrative tasks and maintains drop boxes on its west side for document submissions.
The county name origin remains uncertain between Louisa Massey, who defended her brother, or a reference to Louisa County in Virginia.
