Welcome to Macedonia, Iowa
Macedonia is one of the oldest and most historic towns in Southwest Iowa. Macedonia was first founded on the east side of the Nishnabotna River in 1846, because of frequent flooding and the coming of the CB&Q Railroad was moved to its present location in 1880. You will find the Mormon Trail winding through the town and nearby countryside.
The town has a covered stadium that is one of two remaining in Iowa, a beautifully shaded park with playground equipment and a walking trail. A half mile from town is the descent to the river at Olde Town Park where Mormons crossed the river on limestone rock ledge. Macedonia offers a small-town family life with the heart of an old-fashioned village. Throughout the year the community is busy with events and activities…Grist Mill theatre productions & art shows, community dinners, Annual Donia Day celebrations, Fire Department activities, MHPS Annual Nishnabotna River Rubber Ducky Race, and an access point to the West Nishnabotna River Water Trail. Main Street (Pioneer Trail, County Road G-66) runs through the center of town and connects to north/south running Highway 59, just one mile east of town. Main Street also provides access to east/west running Highway 92 via County Road M-16, which runs just west of the community. Please visit our web site regularly for updates.

“When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for what has been your delight.” Susan Goos was a delight to all who knew her. She was a kind, smart, funny, and strong woman. Susan was the kind of person that made you feel fortunate to know her. Susan Goos was a long-time pillar of our community, and she left her mark on this community in many ways. Susan served as a Macedonia City Council Member for 13 years and as the Founder, President, and driving force of Macedonia Hamilton Development Corporation for just as long. Susan will be greatly missed by our community and by all who knew and loved her. -Mayor Melia Clark WATER CONSERVATION -- How's Your Water Pressure?
Pay attention to your water bill and become familiar with your water meter-use them to track your water use and detect leaks. Listen for drips and leaks around the house. If you notice a change in your water pressure, that could be a sign that you have a leak somewhere in your line. Always report changes in pressure to City Hall. Make sure your faucets turn off completely. Even a slow drip can use as much as 5,000 gallons of water per month. A steady stream can lose up to 21,000 gallons per month. A toilet that runs continuously can use as much as 5,000 gallons of water per day! Even a slow, silent leak can add gallons to your utility bill. To check for a toilet leak, put a few drops of food coloring in the tank and see if it seeps into the bowl without flushing. If it does, replace the flapper valve and/or the rubber gasket at the bottom of the tank or call your plumber. Your water meter can be a valuable tool in detecting water leaks in and around your home. Know where it is located and follow this simple process to help determine if there is a leak in your home: 1) Make sure no water is running. 2) Turn off all faucets and water-consuming appliances. 3) Read your water meter. Write down the current reading. 4) Read the meter again a few hours later after a time when you haven't used any water. If the meter reading has changed, you have a leak. | ||||
