Ionia, Nebraska

Ionia is a ghost town in Dixon County, Nebraska, United States.[1]

History

A post office was established at Ionia in 1860, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1900.[2]

Ionia was located on the Missouri River but erosion and flooding led to Ionia's demise.[3]

There also existed a "volcano" at the site.[4]

gollark: Also, "it's generally broken and we'll randomly wipe it" sounds more pre-alpha than beta.
gollark: So it's... not really a limit, but a neat but ultimately meaningless statistic?
gollark: So... why have the balance at all?
gollark: You can just... ask people, directly, without also giving them mod powers.
