Cleghorn, Iowa - "A Place You Can Call Home."

The railroad brought a great deal of industrial business to this small farming town that is located on the main line of the Illinois Central Railroad. In 1901, after a new warehouse and stockyards were constructed, a municipality was formed and soon there was a new school and church erected.

Today, Cleghorn offers a quality of life that cherishes its small town family values. The vibrant community is the home to two manufacturers (Taylor Refrigeration and Wetherell Manufacturing), Cherokee County Historical Society, and a new library that was built in conjunction with the local school. The town also holds an annual "Ice Cream Day" the second Saturday of June each year. It involves all sort of activities and events throughout the day and tops off the night with free ice cream.
