Humboldt, IA
Humboldt is a city in Humboldt County, Iowa. The population was 4,792 at the time of the 2020 census. The founder of modern Humboldt, Stephen Harris Taft, laid out the plans for Springvale, the original name of the town, in 1863. Springvale was renamed Humboldt (after the German explorer and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt) in hope of a merger between Springvale and Dakota City (the county seat of Humboldt County), but no merger took place.
Due to its progressive, pro-development attitude, the city is still growing after 150 years. According to the Census, Humboldt has grown by more than 5% over the last 10 years. Humboldt provides exceptional opportunities for families and businesses alike. Humboldt offers a family aquatic center, Recreation Center, Carnegie library, hometown theater, harness racing, golf and 17 area parks. Bike, hike or ride snowmobiles on the Three Rivers Trail system or enjoy the Des Moines River water trail.
