About Earlville

Earlville is a quiet, tight-knit community in Delaware County, tucked into the rolling farm country just off Highway 20. The town got its start in the late 1850s when the railroad pushed through, taking its name from early settler George Earl. Today, it retains that classic rural Iowa charm, sitting comfortably between Manchester and Dyersville so residents can enjoy quiet neighborhood streets while staying close to regional jobs and amenities.

Families in town are part of the Maquoketa Valley Community School District, which provides a small, supportive environment for students. Everyday life moves at an easy pace, centered around local churches, neighborhood parks, and scenic county roads that connect Earlville to nearby towns. For anyone looking for an affordable, peaceful place to settle down with plenty of open space, Earlville makes a welcoming spot to call home.
