The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Delmar was platted in 1871, shortly after the railroad was built through the site. The name Delmar is said to be a combination of the initials of the six ladies on the first train to arrive into the station: Della, Emma, Laura, Marie, Anna, and Rose. Le Mars, Iowa was similarly so named.
