Another GNIS entry from the Iowa Geological Survey unrecorded on topos or aerials, the spot being a short ways south into a field on an empty stretch of road. There is documentation of it as a post office, and someone "from" there raised shorthorns, but that's pretty much it. Mangoe (talk) 03:11, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See Nanito Post Office at 41°18′35″N 094°19′46″W / 41.30972°N 94.32944°W / 41.30972; -94.32944 (Nanito Post Office) and http://iagenweb.org/adair/citiestowns/postofficies.htm . Uncle G (talk) 03:40, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Can't turn up much, and the non-GNIS source in the article claiming the post office was from 1900-1903 is wrong, as the post office was established in 1898, and closed in 1905 due to the established of Rural Free Delivery. 1918 Iowa State Gazetter just says it was a discontinued post office 8 miles from Greenfield. Found a couple of passing mentions re shorthorns, but besides that all I can find is that Mr. Buck who ran the P.O. died in 1903 and Mrs. Buck took over as postmistress. The Iowa Gazetter fairly well establishes that this was just a P.O., so WP:GEOLAND is not met, and WP:GNG certainly is not. Hog Farm _Talk 03:53, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Grand River Township, Adair County, Iowa. All sources I can find state that this was a post office, and by 1905, it offered limited services. Mention of a post office in Grand River Township is warranted, but a separate article for a post office is not. Unlike Arbor Hill, Iowa, Berea, Iowa, and Fisk, Iowa, no source indicates this was a community, and the 1930 plat map of the county shows nothing there.
