Welcome to Ulster ...

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

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

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

While we don't have a date for the founding of Ulster, you might consider that their post office opened in 1858.

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

Adding Ulster to Our Gazetteer ...

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

From that list, the Ulster post office opened in 1858.

We also found Ulster in the book titled Iowa State Gazetteer (1865).

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 Ulster, 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 Floyd, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
