Brian,
I also believe the date is 1 Jan 1885. In addition, I don't know if you would find this of interest, but at http://www.iowadatacenter.org/Publications/historical you can download specific census statistics of each enumeration year. It can put your ancestor, their occupation, place of birth, their parent's place of birth, wages, etc., in context of the other people who live in the same county or in other counties in Iowa.

Was it January 1st, April 1st, or June 1st? I've gone through so many different web sites in order to make a determination yet strangely this bit of info is missing about the 1885 census. I did manage to view a copy of the official final report (not the enumeration sheets) which mentioned the effective date was January 1st and they hope the legislature would change it to June 1st to coincide with the US Census. However, when I view any of the actual enumeration sheets, they are dated in April or May. Was the 1885 Iowa State Census started 4 months late? I found one web site which stated the effective date was June 1st but I can't see how that can be true if the enumerations were done 2 months earlier. Anyone feel like enlightening me?
