The Elkader Community
Elkader is an active town of about 1600
persons located in a beautiful valley astride the Turkey River, in the
"driftless area" of Clayton County. The region was not scoured by
glaciers during the last ice age and remained rugged while the
surrounding area was scraped level. Elkader is the hub of a large trade
area which includes one of the most prosperous and diversified farming
sectors in the midwest. It is near the center of 470,000 Clayton County
farm acres.
Elkader is the seat of Clayton County, has excellent educational and
recreational facilities, a highly regarded hospital and is home to the
main office of the Keystone Area Education Agency. Three state
highways, Iowa 13, 56, and 128 enter the city from the north, east,
south and west. Two county paved highways connect Elkader with
surrounding county communities.
