Onawa was established in 1857 and is located near the middle line of Monona County. The town is eight miles east of the Missouri River and a further three furths from the nearest point. The town was laid out by the Monona Land Company in 1857. Its streets are 150 feet wide and its alleys are 16 feet wide. Two blocks of land were set aside for public parks.
The city is home to an ice cream parlor and a bakery claiming to have invented the Eskimo pie. The population is small and a little surprising, considering that it has a population of about 2,849. More troubling is the fact that nearly one-fourth of the population lives below the poverty line. The local SNAP program serves 24.9% of the population. Therefore, residents of Onawa should expect to pay their rent.
