New Hampton, Fredericksburg and Nashua trace their names to their own townships, but Nashua itself sits mostly across the line in Floyd County, and Protivin’s town limits reach into neighboring Howard County. A handful of names from older local lists — Bethany Hall, Chickasaw, Devon, Reilly Settlement and Williamstown — are historic place references without a confirmed current census entry and are omitted here rather than guessed at; see notes.<\/p>\n
