History

In 1882, the Burlington and Western Railway a narrow gauge line, and its competitor, the Iowa Central Railway, built competing east–west lines through the area. These crossed the Rock Island tracks here, so it was a natural location for a station and town.

Hedrick was incorporated on April 23, 1883. It was named for General Hedrick.

The Burlington and Western was widened to standard gauge in 1902 and merged into the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy a year later. The Minneapolis and St. Louis took over the Iowa Central around the same time, and the Burlington line was abandoned in 1934.

By 1991 several businesses in the community’s main street closed, and the economy had declined. The school serving the town closed that year.

In 2023, the city was struck by an EF-4 rated tornado.
