Pocahontas County is one the lesser populated of the 99 counties in the State of Iowa. The estimated population in 2004 was 8,112, which was a decrease of -6.35% from the 2000 census.This is farm country - the heart of America's Breadbasket, where the corn grows so tall that in late summer if forms great walls of tassel-topped greenery along every county road. All of those roads lead to the Pocahontas County Courthouse, the seat of local government.
In the county's 578 square miles there are several other small farm communities in addition to the county seat of Pocahontas. These are: Fonda, Gilmore City, Havelock, Laurens, Palmer, Plover, Rolfe, and Varina. Lots of good hard-working, God-fearing local folks call these communities "Home" and wouldn't think of living anywhere else.
