About Delaware

Local kids attend the Maquoketa Valley Community School District, and residents enjoy a relaxed pace of life with easy access to the surrounding area. Local parks, churches, and the popular Delaware County Fair keep the community connected, with larger stores and dining just a short drive away in Manchester.
