Medina, a discontinued postoffice on the Union Pacific R. R., in Jefferson county, is located 16 miles southwest of Oskaloosa, the county seat, and 2 miles from Perry, whence mail is supplied by rural route. Medina was established in 1865, when the railroad was built. Lutt, Kunkle & Menzer bought the land and platted it and established a store. A postoffice was established the next year with William King, who opened the second store, as postmaster. The town was at one time quite prosperous and had a weekly newspaper and a dozen business establishments.
