This is easy. The history books tell us that this article is a falsehood. Hancock's 1913 Past and present volume 1 in the chapter on Ludlow Township on page 273 says "No villages have ever been laid out in this township" and "A postoffice called Ludlow was kept at the house of H. G. Grattan, postmaster, on the Waukon and Postville road, in section 10, for about twelve years, being discontinued prior to 1882". This is verifiably not an "unincorporated community" within the Township. This chapter is about Ludlow Township, Allamakee County, Iowa of course, where such information belongs.

Redirect to Ludlow Township, Allamakee County, Iowa. I found a few references to Ludlow in obituaries, but that's about it, and for all I know those were references to the township too. Not sure how a century-old rural post office name ended up on modern county highway maps, but that seems to be what happened here. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 19:57, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
