==History== Barnes City was founded under the name of New Barnes until the town of Barnes City was chartered in 1898. Barnes City came about as a result of the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad needing a central link between Montezuma<ref>{{cite web |title=Montezuma, Iowa |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montezuma,_Iowa |website=Montezuma, Iowa}}</ref>{{Circular reference|date=May 2024}} and Thornburg. It was decided that a small depot be built halfway in between these two communities, and this happened to be on the property owned by James Barnes in 1881; hence the name Barnes City.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.iowaheritage.org/items/show/78649#:~:text=Barnes%20City%20was%20founded%20under,link%20between%20Montezuma%20and%20Thornberg. |website=Iowa Heritage |title=Barnes City, IA, 1898; Pleasant Grove Township; Mahaska County; Iowa Β· Iowa Heritage Digital Collections }}</ref>
