About Fonda

Fonda is a city in Pocahontas County, Iowa, United States. Fonda was originally called Marvin. The town is located at the western edge of the Des Moines Lobe, the most recently glaciated section of Iowa. Fonda's local map joins its older history to the places and landscapes that still shape the town today, all within the wider Iowa setting. The local scoop is how Fonda's history still shows up in the places people visit, work, learn, and meet. The tiles surrounding Fonda empty into Big Cedar Creek, a tributary of the Raccoon River. Fonda is home to large populations of migrating birds.
