Welcome to Iowa Genealogy Trails!
Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and
placing it online for the free use of all researchers.
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project
be as successful as we can make it.

County Information
The county seat is Sioux City
Originally established in 1851 as Wahkaw County, the Iowa Legislature
in 1853 changed the name to Woodbury County in honor of Levi Woodbury (1789-1851), a senator and governor of New
Hampshire who served as a Supreme Court justice from 1844 until his death.
The first county seat of Wahkaw County was the now-extinct village
of Thompsonville; when the Legislature changed the county name to Woodbury, the new county seat became Sergeant's
Bluff (now Sergeant Bluff). The county seat was moved to Sioux City in 1856.
