Cedar Falls History

The city of Cedar Falls grew up from the Cedar River—with early water-powered industry and a crisscross of railroads driving its growth.

The Historical Society

For over 55 years, dedicated volunteers, members, and local citizens have helped build a historical society to preserve and celebrate Cedar Falls’ rich heritage.
