History

Miesville was founded in 1874 by John Mies, and named for him. A post office called Miesville was established in 1884, and remained in operation until 1903.

John Mies built a saloon, restaurant and boarding house in Miesville in 1874. The building became a grocery store, saloon and post office in 1888 and became the Kings Restaurant in the 1980s.

The Saint Joseph Catholic Church of Douglas was founded in the Spring of 1873 in what became Miesville. The first Saint Joseph Catholic Church building was erected in 1907 but struck by lightning on August 27, 1913. The church was rebuilt and dedicated on October 15, 1914. The congregation has been historically a mixture of Irish and German with an occasional Scandinavian convert allowed in.
