History


A fire on December 11, 1991, heavily damaged the Page County Courthouse. The fire was believed to have started in the attic and spread throughout much of the building. Multiple area fire departments fought the blaze and saved the structure. Court services were relocated to several buildings in Clarinda and other areas of Page County as repairs were made to the courthouse. After 2+1⁄2 years of work, the courthouse was re-occupied in March 1994.




Politics


Just like Cass County, Iowa, Page County has long been a Republican stronghold going back generations. Franklin D. Roosevelt in his 1932 landslide was the only Democrat to win the county post-Civil War, and even he couldn't hold onto the county 4 years later despite winning in an even bigger landslide.
