About Stanton

Stanton is a welcoming small town in southwest Iowa with deep Swedish roots and plenty of local pride. You will spot it from miles away thanks to its two famous water towers, painted to look like a giant Swedish coffee pot and a matching cup. Sitting just off Highway 34, the community offers quiet residential streets, scenic countryside views, and an easy drive to neighboring hubs in Montgomery County.

Stanton, IA

The coffee theme celebrates the town's Scandinavian heritage and its favorite hometown star, Virginia Christine, best known as Mrs. Olson from classic Folgers commercials. For anyone thinking of moving here, Stanton delivers a supportive, tight-knit environment anchored by its own local school district. It is a quiet, friendly place to put down roots while enjoying the best parts of small-town living.
