About Kingsley

Set in the rolling farmland of Plymouth County in western Iowa, Kingsley offers a quiet, friendly atmosphere about thirty minutes east of Sioux City. The town got its start in the 1880s when local businesses moved toward the newly built railroad line, and it has maintained its agricultural heritage ever since. It combines the relaxed pace of rural life with an easy commute to larger neighboring cities for work and shopping.
