Janesville

Built around a mid-19th-century settlement beside the Cedar River, Janesville grew into a small Bremer County community in northeastern Iowa. The town was laid out in 1853 and named after Janesville, Wisconsin, reflecting the migration ties that helped shape this part of the Midwest. Its compact street grid of homes, schools and local businesses meets the cultivated fields of the Cedar Valley, while the river continues south through Iowa toward Cedar Rapids. Janesville is close to the larger Waterloo–Cedar Falls urban area yet retains the scale of a rural county town.
