CENTERVILLE, IOWA
The first county sheriff was Jackson Perjue, who was also one of the men who helped select the site for the county seat in 1845. The original name was Chaldea, but was changed to Centreville in 1847. The spelling was changed in 1876. The earliest store was in a log cabin owned by Spencer Wadlington.
Jonathan Stratton, a surveyor, was appointed to plat the town. He designed the town square to be two blocks long on each side. The slogan "Largest City Square in the World" was adopted as a slogan in the 1950's.
A quaint little town located about an hour east of I-35 in southern Iowa, Centerville is home to the World's Largest Town Square and a collection of charming restaurants and gift shops.
