History


A post office was established at Covington in 1858, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1893.[2] It took its name from the Covington, Columbus and Black Hills Railroad.[3] A special election in 1893 approved the merger of Covington and Stanton into the city of South Sioux City.[4]
