About Coalville

Coalville sits along the east bank of the Des Moines River in Webster County, just a few minutes southeast of Fort Dodge. While its name points back to the coal seams that brought 19th-century miners to the valley, today it is a quiet, scenic spot with a relaxed rural feel. Residents enjoy open space and wooded river views, while nearby U.S. Route 20 provides a quick drive into town for work, groceries, and dining.
