Webster City is known as “Boone River Country” because Boone River flows throughout the town. Located an hour north of Des Moines, Webster City feels more like a small, rural town. The area is family-friendly with safe neighborhoods and good schools. The residents here believe in the importance of having a strong sense of community. Community groups like All Cultures Equal, Webster City Community Theater, and the local 4-H chapter host fun, yet impactful events throughout the year. These events are held at community centers or one of the many parks in Webster City. Briggs Woods Park on the edge of town is a popular spot for camping, hiking, skiing, and kayaking. Further embodying small town charm, the majority of the restaurants, shops, and businesses are found along Second Street and are locally owned.
