According to this info on the Van Buren Co. IAGenWeb site, there was a "New Market".

http://www.rootsweb.com/~iavanbur/placenamesvbcv2.htm

NEW MARKET. This was another name for the pioneer village of Black Hawk City, which was located in section 7 of Village Township, across the Des Moines River from Iowaville. New Market was founded in 1848 by Andrew J. Davis and the buildings were torn down in 1861. As Iowaville began in 1838 the name New Market was locally descriptive. See Black Hawk City.

The post office of New Market, Van Buren County, Iowa, was established March 14, 1850, with the appointment of Andrew J. Davis, postmaster. His successors were: Calvin P. Davis, June 30, 1852; David Doud, Jr., April 23, 1860; and Andrew J. Davis, March 6, 1863, who served until the office was discontinued January 14, 1865.
