Floyd County was
established in 1854 and was named for
Sergeant Charles Floyd of the Lewis and Clark
Expedition, who died in 1804 near what is now
Sioux City, Iowa, and who was the only member to

The first school in the county was taught

at Charles City, the third at Floyd. Twelve
years later there were 54 schools in the county,
in September 1875, there were 100 school-houses
