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.
