Pekin, Iowa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pekin, Iowa is a small town (population approximately 30) in southeastern Iowa. Since 1960, it has given its name to a regional school system. For eighteen years, only the high school students went to the regional school, which is located a mile south of Pekin, but in 1978, all grades, K-12, began to study at the regional school, with local buildings being permanently closed. The Pekin Community School System includes students from the towns of Richland, Packwood, Ollie and Farson, as well as from the surrounding countryside.
