1836 – 2020
The town plat and the settlement are neighbours on the map and opposites in the counts, and this section prints both facts in one article on purpose. The town the censuses count was, in 1960 and 1970, recorded with zero Black residents in the university-compiled table carried in the population leg, then 1 in 1990, 6 in 2000, 9 in 2010 and 5 in the 2020 redistricting count — while two miles east, the previous century's integrated farm community lay inside a state park, marked and interpreted. The leg does not explain the contrast, because no carrier reached explains it; it records that the Huggart families' community faded by the 1890s on the marker's dating, that its cemetery stayed integrated and active, and that the town's twentieth-century counts are what they are. The absorbed-towns item of the checklist returns a negative: North Liberty absorbed no neighbouring incorporated town; the township's other named places — the park ground, the settlement ground — were never towns to absorb.
