Mills County, located in the southwestern region of the great state of Iowa, was established on February 24, 1851. It was named in honor of Frederick D. Mills, a judge and prominent Democratic leader who served in the Iowa Senate, as well as an influential figure in the Mexican-American War. The county has its seat in the city of Glenwood.

The region was initially inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Omaha and the Potawatomi. European settlers, mainly from the eastern United States, began to settle in the area in the early 1800s. Mills County experienced significant growth after the completion of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad in the 1870s, which connected the county to various markets and trade routes.

Agriculture has been a vital part of Mills County's economy and history, as farmers have taken advantage of the area's rich, fertile soil. Today, the county produces crops such as corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, and hay, as well as raising livestock. In addition to agriculture, Mills County continues to diversify its economy, with industries such as manufacturing and service-based businesses playing significant roles in its development.

Fun Fact: Mills County is home to the "1853 Pacific House," a historical two-story log building located in Glenwood. It is believed to be the area's oldest remaining building, serving as a hotel, stagecoach stop, and waypoint during the California Gold Rush. Today, it's preserved as a museum, providing a fascinating insight into Iowa's history and the lives of the early settlers.
