Description: Eddyville is a city in Mahaska, Monroe, and Wapello Counties in the U.S. state of Iowa. The population was 1,024 at the 2010 census. The first commercial coal mines in Wapello County were opened near Eddyville. Several 'coal banks' were in operation in 1857, including the Roberts Mine, directly across the Des Moines River from town. These mines worked coal seams exposed on the hillsides of the river valley. The town is located on the north-west bank of the Des Moines River. Cargill has a large corn processing plant here, which dominates the town's skyline. Ethanol, high fructose corn syrup, and gluten are among its products. Across the street, Ajinomoto has a plant that turns the gluten into mono-sodium glutonate. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddyville%2C_Iowa en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_...
