Centerville is an unincorporated community in Boone County, in the U.S. state of Iowa. [1]
Centerville was platted in 1855, but the town's growth soon failed to meet the expectations of its founders. [2] The town's mill was destroyed in 1858, and the Centerville dwindled in importance. [3] By 1914, Centerville contained but a "half dozen houses". [4]
