Thank you for visiting one of the Forgotten Villages on the Prairie in Van Buren County, Iowa.
Pierceville was surveyed as Dibbleville in 1852 but was platted as Pireceville by Roswell R. Dibble and Thomas Dibble, Sr. in 1855. Father Dibble was a member of the 1846 Iowa Constitutional Convention and father-in-law to George G. Wright, the future Senator, and Iowa Supreme Court Justice.
