Randall, Iowa
Iowa
Randall is a Hamilton County town with a railroad origin. A post office called Randall has operated here since eighteen sixty-three. The town itself came to life when a railroad platted a site along its new line in the early eighteen eighties, and it took the name Randall, reportedly for Pennsylvania congressman Samuel J.
Randall. The railroad later became part of the Chicago and North Western system. Hamilton County was founded in eighteen fifty-seven and named for William W.
Hamilton. Randall today is a very small community, holding its own among the corn and soybean fields.
