About Sanborn

Sanborn is a quiet northwest Iowa town with deep railroad roots and a friendly, relaxed feel. Founded as a rail hub in the late 1800s, the community has grown into an easygoing place to settle down. Today, neighbors catch up at Miller Park, play a round at the local golf course, and celebrate the town's history every summer during Railroad Days. It is the kind of small town where life moves at a comfortable pace.
