==History==
John B McDermott is credited with naming the town of Moville after his birthplace in Moville, Ireland (County Donegal). In 1868, he and other men from the area established a post office at the McDermott home. Because Mr. McDermott and his wife Martha housed the post office, they chose to name their new town "Moville" ... only two "Movilles" exist in the world. In Iowa, it is pronounced "MOH ville" while in Ireland it is pronounced "Moe-Ville."
On April 23, 1887, the "West Town Lot Company" filed at the Woodbury County Courthouse, a platted map to be known as the town of Moville, Iowa. Moville citizens approved incorporation of the town in a special election held Aug. 10, 1889 and the Articles of Incorporation were filed and approved on Aug. 13, 1889 by the clerk of district court, Woodbury County. Townspeople celebrated its centennial June 19–21, 1987 and celebrated its quasquicentennial (125 years) in 2012.
