Welcome to Central City. Located just 10 minutes north of the Cedar Rapids metro area on Hwy 13, our small town was established in 1859 on the shores of the Wapsipinicon River. Set in the natural splendor of central Iowa, it’s a fun place to visit, and a wonderful community to work in or call home. Use it as a gateway to shopping, dining, and recreation in the area whether you’re into fast moving water, or a leisurely evening stroll.
