About Westphalia

Founded in 1872 by German Catholic settlers, Westphalia is a quiet Shelby County town surrounded by western Iowa farmland. Daily life here revolves around a close-knit rural setting with wide-open spaces in every direction. Families send their children to the Harlan Community School District, and residents make the short drive into neighboring Harlan for groceries, shopping, and healthcare. It is a great fit for anyone wanting small-town peace while staying close to everyday conveniences.
