Spencer

Spencer straddles the Little Sioux River in northwest Iowa, and its river setting has helped shape the city as Clay County’s commercial and civic center. As the county seat, it combines local businesses, public services and the everyday pace of a Midwestern regional town, with the river corridor adding a green thread to the surrounding farmland. Each September, the Clay County Fair brings agricultural competitions, livestock exhibits and concerts to permanent fairgrounds in Spencer, making it one of the area’s defining annual events. The city also provides a useful introduction to the open landscapes and small-town communities of northwest Iowa.
