Washington County
Washington County is located in Southeast Iowa and covers 556.75 square miles in the richest of America's agricultural region. The nine incorporated cities in the county are Ainsworth, Brighton, Coppock, Crawfordsville, Kalona, Riverside, Washington, Wellman, and West Chester.
Kalona Chamber of Commerce
Today, the Kalona area is home to the largest Amish Mennonite settlement west of the Mississippi river, something that began when three Old Order Amish families established homesteads near Deer Creek the year Iowa became a state.
A pioneer spirit still thrives today in the progressive business community with its one-of-a-kind downtown and countryside shops and cottage industries. Thanks to a home grown, cutting-edge medical instruments company, Kalona is even known in the international high-tech marketplace.
