Fruitland, IA

Fruitland is a Muscatine County city in the southern part of the county, served by the Louisa–Muscatine Community School District. The local story is more rural than the name suggests: Fruitland sits among former country-school sites and the broad Mississippi River valley south of Muscatine. Its school district reaches across county lines, linking Fruitland with Louisa County communities such as Letts and Grandview. Fruitland is southeast Iowa in a plain, useful shape—small city, two-county school map, and river-country landscape.
