About Arthur

Arthur is a quiet, close-knit farming community in Ida County with around 200 residents. Named after President Chester A. Arthur in the late 1800s, this tiny western Iowa town offers peaceful rural living with virtually no traffic and plenty of open sky. Local students attend the nearby OABCIG school district, and everyday essentials are just a short drive down Highway 175 in Ida Grove or Odebolt. It is the kind of place where neighbors know each other and life moves at a comfortable, unhurried pace.
