- Several stories are associated with this name. A German named Balm was hunting with some relatives in this locality, and he found it difficult because of the tall grass. Others say a party of hunters saw the little prairie settlement in the valley below them and someone remarked that it looked like a lost nation. Still others say a tribe of Indians starved and froze to death here in early times or else a Mr. Cock, on a stock-buying trip, called it Lost Nation because he had difficulty in finding the locality (IA-T6). Founded in 1872 and incorporated in 1903.
