Description

Lowden is nestled in a valley of rolling hills and fertile soil. The City of Lowden has a population of 794 people, located in Cedar County, Springfield Township. It was once covered by tall, blue-stemmed prairie grass, prairie flowers and inhabited by Native Americans and prairie animals. The flow of land seekers into Iowa started in 1834 when the area known as the Blackhawk Purchase was opened for settlement. In 1839, the first Pioneer settlers arrived after the harrowing experience of crossing the mighty Mississippi by ferry at Clinton, Iowa.
