History

Stockholm Township, Iowa 1920, showing the location of Boyer, Old Kiron, and Ells.

Ells was a village in Stockholm Township, Crawford County, Iowa, platted in either 1899[2] or 1900.[3] A post office was established in Ells on January 24, 1900 by Benjamin F. Ells.[3] News of the new post office appeared in the Daily Iowa Capital in Des Moines on February 15, 1900.[4]

Ells, located one mile south of Boyer, was on the Illinois Central Railroad and had a train depot and general store in 1911. Benjamin Ells served as the postmaster, appointed by President William McKinley.[5]

The post office at Ells was discontinued April 15, 1914.[3] In 1915, the population of Ells was 26.[6] Today, Crawford County residents consider Ells a "lost" town.[3]
