History

The first county seat for Monona County was Ashton.[2] Onawa became the county seat in 1855 and the county offices were located in Mechanics’ Hall. The citizens of the town raised $12,500 for a courthouse in order to retain the county seat. After Onawa won a challenge against East Mapleton a $7,000 courthouse was built.[2] The present courthouse was built in 1892 in the Romanesque Revival style.[1]
