Fredsville is an unincorporated community in Grundy County, Iowa.
The town of Fredsville began when Danish settlers came to the highest area in Grundy County in the mid-1800s. Although small, the town had a creamery.[1]
In 1871, the Fredsville settlers organized a Lutheran church congregation. At the time, they called it Fairfield Scandinavian Lutheran Congregation.[2] The name befit the town's location in Fairfield township of Grundy County.[3] However, it has been renamed to Fredsville Evangelical Lutheran Church, which continues to be an active congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.[4]
Fredsville's population was 52 in 1902.[5]
Although the town of Fredsville still appears when searched on Google Maps,[6] it is no longer an incorporated location.
