Welcome to Steady Run ...

So far, we found very little information about Steady Run. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Steady Run to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Steady Run - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Steady Run, please Contact Us.


While we don't have the exact location of Steady Run , we believe that it would have been located within present day Keokuk County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Steady Run, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1850.

Time Zone: The area where Steady Run was located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time

Adding Steady Run to Our Gazetteer ...

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Steady Run was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Steady Run post office opened in 1850.

We also found Steady Run in the book titled Table of U.S. Post Offices in the United States (Jan. 1851).

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Steady Run, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Iowa's counties, including Keokuk, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
