Introduction

Outstanding recreational opportunities, interesting historical sites, festive community events, excellent educational offerings and modern healthcare options are just some of the reasons as to why Washington, Iowa, has been regarded as “One of the Best Small Towns in America” three times in a row by author Norman Crampton.

Established nearly 170 years ago, Washington has expanded to become the home of approximately 7,200 residents and hundreds of businesses. Its central location in southeast Iowa puts it within close proximity to bustling Iowa City/Coralville. The city’s slogan, “City of Flowers and Trees,” can be seen from its treasury of radiant plantings and shady trees.

While Washington treasures its rich past through the variety of vintage buildings and homes listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it has shown it can advance into a successful future without harming the tight-knit, smaller town ambience residents have come to cherish.

This book is certainly proof of the well-rounded community that Washington has become over the years. Whether you are a resident, a business or a visitor, Washington welcomes you to enjoy the following pages, which highlight the city’s vibrant way of life and unmatched amenities.
