Cedar Falls sits on the Cedar River in northeastern Iowa, where a university city and historic river town meet. The University of Northern Iowa, founded in 1876 as the Iowa State Normal School, gives the community a strong academic presence, along with Panthers sports and performing arts. Downtown Main Street forms part of the Cedar Falls Downtown Historic District, lined with late-19th- and early-20th-century commercial buildings, independent shops, restaurants and galleries. The Cedar Valley Trails network uses former rail corridors to link neighbourhoods, parks and riverside areas.
