      A number of historic communities in Buchanan County once appeared on state maps, but no longer exist. Hamerville was located east of Brandon at the intersection of Highway 150. Today, the site is the location of three farmhouses. Vista, once located between Brandon and Independence, appeared on maps frequently until the 1950s. This site is not even accessed by paved road. Kier, between Fairbank and Littleton, appeared on many maps in the 19th century and early 20th century. The area is now settled by Amish. Several towns named Middlefield existed southeast of Winthrop, but none are populated today. Newtonville was located a few miles south of Monti. The houses at Castleville were later moved to Aurora. Wise, once located between Independence and Jesup just north of Highway 939, was a train-stop between the 1920s and the 1950s. Little remains at the site. Kiene was founded in 1911 between Quasqueton and Monti, but was empty by 1955. Few or even no houses remain at any of these sites.

      Politics


      From the founding of the Republican Party in 1854 through 1984, the party won nearly every presidential election in Buchanan County. The exceptions were 1864, 1912 (when former Republican Theodore Roosevelt ran as a Progressive, allowing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to win the county with a sub-40% plurality), the two landslide elections of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 and 1936, and the landslide election of Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. The county took a leftward shift beginning in 1988, voting for the Democratic nominee in every election from then until 2012 and by a margin of at least 10% in each election in that span except for 1992 and 2004. In 2016, Donald Trump swung the county back to the right, shifting the county 29% to the right from 2012, as Trump won the county by a margin of over 15%. Trump improved on this performance in 2020, taking nearly 60% of the county's vote and winning by a margin of almost 21%, the best vote share for any candidate in the county since 1964. Trump did even better in 2024, winning more than 63% of Buchanan County's vote and achieving a margin of victory of more than 28%, the best Republican performance in the county since Dwight D. Eisenhower in his 1952 landslide.
