Manning, Iowa
Manning is a city in Carroll County, Iowa, United States, along Iowa Highway 141. The population was 1,455 at the time of the 2020 census. It is named for Orlando Harrison Manning, a Lieutenant Governor of Iowa.
Prior to the city's formation, the area of Manning was a swampy region occasionally used by local Iowa people for hunting. There were no nearby rivers and few trees.
The Iowa Southwestern railroad was completed in 1880. Some yards and a depot were constructed at the future location of Manning in 1881. In the same year, the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad constructed a road across Iowa, south of and parallel to, the Northwest. These railroads intersected at what is now Manning. Many of these railroads went directly through where the Manning Park currently is.
In 1969, an unknown saboteur used dynamite to bomb one of the rails and derail the passenger train traveling on the east-west Milwaukee railroad line (presently owned and operated by the BNSF Railway), apparently hoping that it would careen into the Nishnabotna river below. The train came to a safe stop but only after it derailed. The crime was never solved; no group claimed responsibility and no motive for the bombing was ever discovered.
Manning is located along the West Nishnabotna River near its source.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.50 square miles (6.47 km2), of which, 2.49 square miles (6.45 km2) is land and 0.01 square miles (0.03 km2) is water.
As of the 2020 census, there were 1,455 people, 651 households, and 353 families residing in the city. The population density was 587.5 inhabitants per square mile (226.9/km2). There were 747 housing units at an average density of 301.6 per square mile (116.5/km2).
The median age in the city was 41.5 years. 25.2% of residents were under the age of 20; 4.1% were between the ages of 20 and 24; 23.8% were from 25 to 44; 21.6% were from 45 to 64; and 25.4% were 65 years of age or older. 23.1% of residents were under the age of 18. The gender makeup of the city was 49.6% male and 50.4% female. For every 100 females, there were 98.5 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 93.3 males age 18 and over.
