"The town is gone, but the memory lingers for many area residents. The memory is of Poplar, Iowa -- a thriving little community along the Audubon-Shelby County border." The community of Poplar was located at the junction of 4 townships: Polk and Jackson Townships, Shelby County, and Douglas and Sharon Townships, Audubon County.

Below is an index to the family histories found in the Families section of the 1985 Poplar history book. This is not a complete list of every person mentioned in the book. The book contains a total of 264 pages, and the Families section comprises pages 27-159. Additional sections may indexed in the future.
