Moingona is an unincorporated community in Boone County, in the U.S. state of Iowa.
Moingona got its start in 1866, when the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad was extended to that point.[1] The community derives its name from the Moingona Indians.[2] A post office was established at Moingona in 1867, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1928.[3]
