History

Prior to the treaty of May 1, 1843, the area of what is now Malcom was Sac and Fox (Sauk and Meskwaki) lands. Though there were a few settlers earlier, by 1858, the population justified the formation of a township. The railroad was extended from Iowa City in 1863, and the village was laid out on the Little Bear Creek. The town was incorporated on April 23, 1872.
