About DeWitt

DeWitt, Iowa is a vibrant small town that perfectly blends a suburban feel with surrounding farmland, giving residents the best of both worlds. This welcoming community offers the comfort of small-town living while remaining just minutes from larger cities like Clinton and the Quad Cities. Located at the crossroads of four-lane Highways 30 and 61, DeWitt proudly carries the nickname “The Crossroads of Opportunity.” As part of the historic Lincoln Highway and served by Union Pacific Railroad along its southern edge, the city is well-positioned for growth and accessibility. As the second-largest community in Clinton County, DeWitt continues to offer a high quality of life and meaningful opportunities for residents of all ages.

Employment Opportunities and Economic Growth

DeWitt’s strategic location makes it easy for businesses to thrive. With convenient highway access, goods can be transported efficiently to surrounding communities, across state lines, and beyond. This accessibility also makes commuting simple for residents who work in nearby cities. While many professionals and families choose DeWitt for its lifestyle benefits, more than 2,000 residents commute outside the city for work. This reflects both strong regional job opportunities and the appeal of living in a community that offers space, safety, and convenience without sacrificing access to career growth.
