Welcome to Ida Grove
A visit that lasts a lifetime
Nestled in the rolling hills of northwestern Iowa is a rural community called Ida Grove. We are small in size, but large in opportunities and family values, and have a wide variety of activities for people from all walks of life.
Realizing ambition through hard work and dedication has defined Ida Grove. Our achievements are personified in castles throughout our city, but our most treasured castle is our community. Our community serves as the foundation for yesterday’s, today’s and tomorrow’s opportunities. From world-class industry to scholarships for tomorrow’s leaders, we pave the future where Castles, Community and Opportunity meet.
History
History Made Here
The first surveyors running the township lines chose the name Ida for the new county in 1851 because the Indians had camped on a high hill west of where Ida Grove was later established. They had fires burning on top of that hill drying their strips of meat over green sapling frames so it would keep well and not spoil through the winter months. Those fires were so constant and visible all night that they suggested to the engineers the story of the vestal fires on Mount Ida in Greece.
