Cylinder is a city in Palo Alto County, Iowa, United States. The population was 88 at the 2010 census.
History
The town began in 1885 with the construction of a large hay barn, and soon after a railway siding was built to load the hay.[4] In 1890 a railway depot was constructed, and the town was incorporated in 1900.[5]
The original railway depot was named after nearby Cylinder Creek, which may have received its name after early settlers dropped an engine into the mud and never recovered it.[5][6]
Professional wrestler Danny Havoc was born in Cylinder, and started wrestling in his family's barn with friends after school.[7]
