The town of Halbur, Iowa was named after Anton Halbur who donated the forty acres of land for the town site. Anton Halbur purchased the land in 1880 for $1.00 an acre from a resident of Old Carrollton. He made a satisfactory profit at this price on his government bought land. Anton Halbur's farm was crossed by the Iowa Southwestern Railroad in 1881-1882. In the latter year, Halbur was located and plotted on the north half of the northwest quarter of section 18'33'35 in Roselle Township. Part of this was the Halbur farm, so Anton donated the land for the railroad station and the town which grew rapidly after trains came. Halbur, being located between Manning and Carroll became a great trading territory and continues to flourish as a trading center to this day.
