The Oskaloosa all woman council and mayor were elected April 2, 1888. A similar election outcome occurred at Baldwin City in April 1889 followed by Beatty, Kansas on April 3, 1899. There have been some statements that the other towns were the first to have the women elected, but according to my research, Oskaloosa was earlier.
