Rushville is a former unincorporated community in Kellogg Township, Jasper County, Iowa, United States.
Rushville was platted in 1857[1] and it had its beginnings as a stage coach shop. The only store to ever exist in the town was operated by the Whitcomb family and contained the post office. Rushville had a church, several homes, and later a school.
Eventually, the railroad was constructed and bypassed Rushville to the south by two miles. This gradually led to the decline of the town. Rushville's population in 1915 was 1.[2]
In 1957, the school was consolidated into nearby Kellogg and the building was later demolished.
There are no longer any buildings in Rushville. Only a few nearby farms exist. A memorial plot containing a plaque, flag, and water pump remains within the city limits. Nearby Rushville Cemetery continues to be maintained.
