Plymouth County, Iowa Overview
Established in 1851, and named after Plymouth, Massachusetts, Plymouth County, Iowa had a population of 24,986 as of the 2010 census. Le Mars is both the county seat and the largest community. During the Great Depression, the farmers organized a group, which they named the Farmers Holiday Group. The goal was to keep farm products off the market until the desired price was met. A radical group among them abducted Judge Bradley from his court chamber and threatened to hang him in the front of the courthouse. Bradley was freed, but the governor ordered the national guard to Plymouth County and declared state of emergency, which meant the end of the Farmers Holiday Group. The county’s total area is 864 miles, almost all of which is land. The county lines border against Union County, South Dakota to the west, Woodbury County, IA to the south, Cherokee County, IA to the east, Sioux County, IA to the north. The Pappas Telecasting Tower, with a height of 1,980 feet, is one of the tallest masts in the world. The county uses a total of 12 zip codes, the largest of which is 51031. :
