Dayton is a hidden gem.  Tucked in southeast Webster County, this small town features big city amenities like world-class high speed internet, a full-time police force, and an excellent school system.   Add to this the 82-year-old Dayton Rodeo—one of the largest rodeos in Iowa—and we think you’ll agree with us that Dayton is a very special place indeed. 

            In Dayton, we invest in our children.  The Dayton Elementary school—part of the Southeast Valley School District—recently built a brand-new addition that houses, among other things, an award-winning preschool and day care.  We also value senior citizens in Dayton, not only offering affordable housing options and a full-equipped long-term care facility, but also many social opportunities for those 55+ including the BASE Senior Fitness Class, the Dayton Dreamers club, and partnerships with RSVP—Retired Senior Volunteer Program.

            In between childhood and retirement, Dayton offers the slower speed of country living with some of the fastest, most advanced internet in the country.  Folks can join the telecommute trend and work from home, sitting on a quiet porch, enjoying a cup of coffee, and watching the children walk down the street to school.  The Dayton Community Club and other groups in Dayton plan fun activities all year round including horse drawn sleigh rides in the park in December, a Ladies Night Out in October, and free concerts in the park in the summer. The golf course at Oak Park is one of most challenging and most beautiful in Iowa and even features a restaurant.

            In addition, Dayton has three churches and numerous businesses for your shopping pleasure.  No need to leave town to do your shopping—we have it all right here in town.   

            We cordially invite you to Dayton:  a small town with big amenities and friendly people—and a world-class rodeo to boot!
