Buncombe County, Iowa (renamed)

Buncombe County was changed to Lyon County in 1862

I have no books which are specifically for this County, but most counties are included in the Iowa statewide books

BUNCOMBE COUNTY was established in 1851 and named for an officer in the War of the Revolution. It was the extreme northwestern county in the State. While bearing this name there were no permanent settlers within its limits but for eleven years it appeared on the map of Iowa as Buncombe County until at the extra session of the Ninth General Assembly in September, 1862, it was changed to Lyon.
