About Galt

Located just west of Sterling in Whiteside County, Galt is a tiny, quiet community of around 200 people. It got its start as an 1850s railroad stop and has kept its rural, small-town character ever since. Life here is relaxed and surrounded by open farm country, with neighboring Sterling just minutes away for groceries, local dining, and schools like Sterling High. For anyone looking for peaceful countryside living close to everyday conveniences, Galt offers an easy, laid-back spot to settle down.
