Maloy is a city in Ringgold County, Iowa, United States, along the Platte River. The population was 22 at the time of the 2020 census.[2]

History[]

Settlement of the western part of Ringgold County began in the 1850s. Maloy was platted in 1887, in the same year as the railroad arrived. Maloy was incorporated as a city in 1901. In 1917, the two-story brick Maloy High School was built; after serving from 1920 to 1952, it became an elementary school in the Mount Ayr Community School District.[citation needed]

A major fire on June 17, 1931, razed the Catholic Church, five businesses, a house, and a barn.[3] The school closed in 1972 and was torn down in 1987. The railroad, which once offered both freight and passenger service, was dismantled in 1985.[citation needed]

Today, the city is governed by a mayor and three-member city council.[citation needed]
