About Colwell

Colwell is a Floyd County city whose modern footprint grew around the Iowa Terminal, later Charles City Western, electric railway. The line connected Colwell with Charles City and Marble Rock, and by 1922 Colwell was among Floyd County's smaller rail-served towns. The former Charles City-Colwell line was abandoned in 1964, but Colwell Park and access to the Little Cedar River keep a public landscape at the center of town. Charles City Community School District serves area students, linking Colwell's compact grid with the county seat.
