History

Cornlea had its start in the year 1886 as a siding on the railroad. Cornlea’s location in the Corn Belt caused its name, meaning “land of corn”, to be selected. Cornlea was originally built up chiefly by German Catholics. The town was incorporated as a village in 1902.

A post office was established in Cornlea in 1887, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1989.
