About Missouri Valley

Located in Harrison County about thirty minutes north of the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro, Missouri Valley is a welcoming small town of roughly 2,700 residents. Originally founded as a railroad junction in the mid-1800s, the town has long served as a handy regional hub for western Iowa. Today, everyday life centers on a friendly downtown strip, local sports, and the Missouri Valley Community School District, which serves both town residents and families from neighboring farm properties.

It is a practical, grounded community for anyone wanting small-town Iowa living without feeling disconnected from the metro area.
