About Hills

Hills is a Johnson County city founded in 1906, about eight miles south of Iowa City, and part of the Iowa City Community School District. The community's name is plain, but its transportation story is not: a Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern branch known as the Plug Line ran from Hills into Iowa City beginning in 1873. Hills is an eastern Iowa place whose map sits between county roads and the long rail connection to Iowa City.
