Distinct from Crocker and Bancoft?[edit]
This is an interesting little article, but I feel a GAN atm is premature due to how short the article is. I'm a bit confused on the separation of this from the Crocker County, Iowa and Bancroft County, Iowa article; they all occupy the same area, are essentially same iterations of the same proposed county split. Wouldn't an article that covers all three of these proposals as one be the best for understanding why Kossuth was never split? Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 23:22, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
