A Look Back: Manley's History
The community of Manley was first planned out in October 1889. It even had its own post office for a while, from 1890 until 1914.
Manley got its name from a man named W. P. Manley. He was a cashier at the Security National Bank in Sioux City, Iowa. He also owned shares in the Sioux City and Northern Railway. Today, Manley is still home to a service station and a railroad crossing that shares the community's name.
