Explore Cresco, Iowa, in an RVshare RV Rental

The city’s name, Cresco, originates from the Latin word that stands for 'I Grow.' True to its name, the town has experienced rapid development ever since Augustus Beadle had the area surveyed and platted on June 12, 1866. Within six months of establishment, the city had already garnered a population of 1000 people. By 1890, Cresco had more than doubled in size. Fast-forward to today, and the town currently holds about 4000 people.

Initially, in 1856, Horace Barber laid the groundwork for Cresco by staking his claim to the property on which the town presently stands. After M.L. Shook purchased the property in this region, it became known as Shook's Grove. In 1866, Augustus Beadle was able to get title to the property he had long desired. After Beadle acquired the land, he successfully lobbied the railroad to extend into Cresco. 

Cresco's rise to the county center may be traced back to the railroad, which served as the city's initial basis. New Oregon, Howard Center, and Vernon Springs, three adjacent towns, were compelled to uproot their whole economies and relocate to the new center. The rails were dismantled from Cresco and Howard County the year after passenger rail service terminated in 1983. The Milwaukee Road's engine, box car, flatbed, and caboose were sold, and only the one on display at Beadle Park remained.

Start by touring Beadle Park to see the remnants of the once-bustling railroad. Cresco offers a lot for its tourists in terms of fun activities, restaurants, and festivals. During one of your trips, you may be lucky enough to catch the Mower County Fair, packed with family-fun activities. Even when the festival isn't around, you can enjoy coffee at the Magpie Coffeehouse or grab a drink at Bubba’s Bar and Grille.
