About Barnes City

Barnes City is a quiet, close-knit community straddling the border between Mahaska and Poweshiek counties. With a population of around 150 people, life moves at a relaxed, rural pace surrounded by Iowa farmland. Local families are served primarily by the North Mahaska Community School District, with the Montezuma district reaching the north edge of town. While it got its start in the late 1800s as a humble railroad depot, today Barnes City offers simple small-town living for anyone looking for open skies and a peaceful neighborhood.
