The population was 1,396 at the time of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].<ref name=cen2020>{{cite web |title=2020 Census State Redistricting Data |url=https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial/2020/data/01-Redistricting_File--PL_94-171/Iowa/ |website=census.gov |publisher=United states Census Bureau |access-date=August 12, 2021}}</ref> The city was originally known as the village Quorn, which was founded by two brothers, Frederick and [[William Brooks Close (colonist)|William B. Close]]. Quorn was named after the [[Quorn Hunt]] in England. The village was later relocated to a different part of Iowa and named Kingsley due to a railroad not running through the original area. The railroad was designed by the [[Chicago and North Western Transportation Company]]. Kingsley was founded on January 15, 1884, and the centennial celebration was held in June 1984. Kingsley includes organizations, recreational activities, and a local government consisting of a mayor and a city council. The schools are an elementary school and a high school, with the middle school being located in [[Pierson, Iowa|Pierson]]. Recreational additions include a golf course and a public swimming pool. The city has a public library and published a newspaper titled ''The Kingsley News-Times'', now combined with other newspapers to form ''The Record''. There are many businesses and houses within the city limits. United States President [[Herbert Hoover]] lived in Kingsley as a child and [[Cincinnati Reds]] baseball player [[Harry Gaspar]] was born in Kingsley. ==History== ===Quorn=== The city later known as Kingsley was once a village in a different location named Quorn, being named after the [[Quorn Hunt]] in England.<ref name="Kingsley 7"/> Quorn was founded by two brothers, Frederick and William B. Close on September 18, 1880. It started with William's and W. Roylance Court Jr.'s 2,000 acre farm, which contained buildings, sheds, and hundreds of livestock. The livestock included sheep, bucks, ewes, cattle, and hogs. Quorn, through investments by the Close brothers, later included a post office, country store, and social center.<ref>{{cite book |last=Kingsley Centennial Book Committee |date=1984 |page=6 |title=A Century of Memories – Kingsley 1884 to 1984 |publisher=Miller Printing and Publishing}}</ref> Quorn continued to grow to include a population of 300 to 400 people and multiple buildings on Main Street.<ref name="Kingsley 7">{{cite book |last=Kingsley Centennial Book Committee |date=1984 |page=7 |title=A Century of Memories – Kingsley 1884 to 1984 |publisher=Miller Printing and Publishing}}</ref> A railroad was being built and the population of Quorn hoped that it would go through the village on its way to [[Sioux City, Iowa]]. However, the railroad did not go through Quorn. One of the many ideas about why the railroad took a different route was due to a disagreement between the [[Chicago and North Western Transportation Company]] and the Close brothers. The actual reason is still unknown. Due to the railroad being the main mode of transportation of goods, the residents had no choice but to relocate to a new area. Every business except for a mill was moved to a new area during 1883.<ref>{{cite book |last=Kingsley Centennial Book Committee |date=1984 |page=8 |title=A Century of Memories – Kingsley 1884 to 1984 |publisher=Miller Printing and Publishing}}</ref><ref name="History">{{cite book |last=Clark |first=W.

In 1912, a sewer system and 2,775 feet of pipe were laid.
