History

Conesville was once a depot on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway. It was named for Beebe Stewart Cone, a prosperous landowner. Beebe S. Cone had previously established himself as a co-owner of a distillery in Conesville, Ohio. The distillery burned down in 1857, but was not rebuilt by him. By 1870, Cone had established himself as a notable farmer in Orono Township in Muscatine County, Iowa.

In May 2025, Conesville Mayor Tom Van Auken and City Clerk Carol Zuniga raised concerns about a former clerk, Yamira Martinez, misusing funds of $127,000 and asked that the Muscatine County Sheriff's Office investigate. After the sheriff began investigating, the city additionally asked for an audit from the state auditor.
