Queen City was located about 5 miles west of present day Corning, Iowa, and south of the Icarian colonies. Queen City existed at the same time as the Icarian colonies, and was possibly founded prior to the Icarian society. It was all but forgotten, not even a part of written Adams County, Iowa history until Lake Binder was put in. When the lake was dug some tomb stones and an estimated 200 bodies were found. It is unknown what happened to the remains. A monument was built to the town, although little is known about it. The only reference to date is in a diary.[1]

Little is known about Queen City; it could have been the first established town in Adams County.
