About Charter Oak
Charter Oak is a small, quiet community of around 500 people in Crawford County, set along the East Soldier River in western Iowa. Founded in the late 1800s as a rail stop, the town has long since transitioned into a peaceful farming community. Everyday life is calm and unhurried, with Iowa Highway 141 running right through town to connect residents to Denison, Sioux City, and the rest of the region.
For education, local students attend the Charter Oak-Ute School District through eighth grade before teaming up with neighboring Maple Valley-Anthon-Oto for high school and vocational programs. It is the kind of place where neighbors know one another and open countryside is always just down the street, making it a great fit for anyone seeking affordable, easygoing small-town living.
