Places to See and Interesting Facts:
Appanoose County is named for the chief of the Sac and the Fox Indian tribes who headed the peace party during the Black Hawk War. The county seat was originally named Chaldea, which was later changed to Senterville in honor of Governor Senter of Tennessee. The spelling was later changed to the current Centerville, a town which also boasts the largest town square in America. Appanoose County was also one of the major coal mining centers in Iowa in the early twentieth century.
