About Dickens
Dickens is a quiet rural community of about 150 residents in northwest Iowa's Clay County. It offers a relaxed, small-town setting where people know their neighbors. According to local lore, the unique name traces back either to the founding Dickerson brothers or a founder exclaiming "Dickens" when her first choice was already taken. Local students attend the nearby Spencer Community School District, and residents make the quick drive into Spencer whenever they need groceries, dining, or healthcare.
