Donnan, Iowa, lies in central Fayette County. For many years, this sleepy farm hamlet was Iowa's smallest incorporated community. In 1990, the last seven residents made national headlines when they voted to disincorporate, ending their town's status as an officially recognized community. A monument in front of the town's abandoned post office (which closed in 1980) pays tribute to the (nearly) empty community, which lies just a few miles north of its nearly empty sister community of Randalia (population 84).
