Secor, previously known as Xenia and Delanti, is a ghost town in Hardin County, Iowa, United States.

In its early years, the community was the site of one of the few bridges across the Iowa River in Hardin County.

By the mid-20th century, however, the community had lost its school, mill, post office, and businesses, and Secor was considered a ghost town.

[7] During the early years, it was reported that Xenia was "a thriving little village, with a general store, blacksmith and wagon shop, a fine mill, and some fifteen to twenty dwelling houses".

[6] The name of the community was changed to Secor, and the original Xenia town plat was vacated.

The Marshalltown Evening Times-Republican stated that the community was named in honor of Eugene Secor of Forest City.

While there were injuries, no one was killed during the incident because several repair workers were able to somersault out of the way of the collapsing steel arch.

[16] Despite the presence of a railroad, Secor did not experience significant growth, and the name change did not bring many new residents.

[19] Modern-day sources also consider Secor a ghost town,[20] with only a few farms in the area.
