About Pomeroy

Pomeroy is a city in Calhoun County, Iowa, United States. The 2020 census counted 526 residents. Pomeroy was platted in 1870 in anticipation of the railroad being built through the settlement. Pomeroy was named for Charles Pomeroy, an Iowa politician. That mix gives Pomeroy a clear local shape within Iowa, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present. Pomeroy lies within the western side of Manson crater, an impact structure buried by glacial till and outwash.
