About Eyota

Located just ten miles east of Rochester, Eyota offers a quiet, small-town atmosphere with an easy commute to city jobs and regional healthcare. Home to roughly 2,000 residents, this Olmsted County community sits conveniently along Highway 14 and just minutes north of Interstate 90. Named from the Dakota word for "greatest," the town originated around a nineteenth-century railroad corridor and has grown into a comfortable, welcoming place to put down roots.

Eyota City Hall

Daily life centers on the well-regarded Dover-Eyota school district and several local parks featuring walking trails, ballfields, playgrounds, and a disc-golf course. Outdoor lovers also enjoy quick access to the nearby Whitewater River valley for weekend camping, hiking, and trout fishing. The town comes together each summer for Eyota Days, a favorite local festival with a parade, tractor pull, and family activities that make it easy for newcomers to feel right at home.
