The Cherokee County Courthouse is located in Cherokee, Iowa, United States. A public multipurpose building was built in the city of Cherokee in 1863. In addition to court functions, it also served as a public hall, schoolroom, and general utility headquarters.^[1] Several attempts to replace the building failed until 1888 when voters agreed to build a combination courthouse and jail, which was completed in 1891. The present Modernist brick structure replaced it in 1966.^[2]
