4 2021 SIOUX CENTER COMMUNITY GUIDE

WELCOME TO

The guide

you are

reading

is a great introduction

to our

community. We

are delighted to

have you with

us, whatever

brings you here.

Sioux Center

is a progressive

David

Krahling

SIOUX CENTER MAYOR

and thriving community of nearly

8,000 people. We are a rapidly growing

rural city in the fastest growing

rural county in Iowa. One of the most

important drivers of our growth is our

diverse economy, which offers strong

employment opportunities. Another

important contribution is the spirit of

cooperation among the city of Sioux

Center, the Sioux Center School District,

the Sioux Center Christian School and

Dordt University. That cooperation sets

the tone for bold and exciting ventures

made possible by working together.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a

challenge for all of us. Such challenges

can also spark resilience and courage

as we confront uncertainties. While we

remain proud of our infrastructure and

amenities that make this a great place to

live and work, I am especially proud of

our community’s character and resolve

as we have navigated the difficulties

of keeping us all safe and healthy. We

invite you, as you are able and as circumstances

permit, to join us here in

Sioux Center to experience some of that

character and resolve first hand.

— Mayor David Krahling

The city of Sioux Center

has it all, from retail

stores that offer clothing

and gifts to groceries and

automotive sales and services.

Consumers can find all

professional, financial and

service needs here in Sioux

Center.

The top employment

industries in Sioux Center

are education, health care,

manufacturing and farming.

Sioux Center is home

to Dordt University, which

employs many faculty and

staff. Manufacturing is

another top industry as some

of the largest employers

of Sioux Center are plant/

manufacturing jobs. Farming

ranks high as agriculture

is the base of Sioux Center’s

economy and still supports

the rural population with

ag-related business.

The mission of Sioux Center’s

Economic Development

Department is to continue

to improve the quality of life

and to protect the safety and

well-being of the citizens and

the business community of

Sioux Center through proper

planning and consistent

oversight of high-quality

residential, commercial and

industrial development.

These functions help to

ensure orderly development

as well as the protection

of property values, public

health and the general welfare

of the community.

SIOUX CENTER SCHOOL DISTRICT

www.scwarriors.org

The Sioux Center School District motto

is “Educating the whole child for a

whole lifetime.”

The district’s enrollment between the

elementary, middle and high school

buildings for the 2020-21 school year is

1,460 students.

Construction continues at the site

of the new Sioux Center High School

building. The $42.9 million project

broke ground in August 2019 with the

building schedule to open in August

2021.

The academic portion of the building

will have 26 traditional classrooms that

can handle 600 students, with the commons,

science rooms, music rooms and

offices designed to handle 800 students

in the long-term. The building is being

constructed so that it can be readily

expanded when more space is needed

to reach that 800 capacity. The gym will

be able to seat approximately 2,000 people.

A $24.9 million special obligation bond

vote passed by 76 percent in 2019 to

financially support the project.

Sioux Center School board members:

Tim Gesink, president; Jerod Work, Scott

Te Stroete, Nate Bullock and LoriAnne

Heritage Village offers

an historical setting

in Open Space Park.

The grounds, which include

gardens and 65 varieties of

trees, are open year round.

Buildings are open during

the Sioux County Youth Fair

in July, the two-day Harvest

Festival in September, a

one-day holiday event in

December and by appointment.

Buildings also are available

to rent for reunions, weddings

and other events.

The village began in the

late 1980s to create a historical

display for 1992 Sioux

Center Centennial Celebration.

The Sioux Center Heritage

Board and Heritage

Threshers and Collectors

are involved in the activities,

planning, additions and

maintenance of the village.

Heritage Village is home

to several historical buildings

and attractions. A couple

popular ones are the:

Blacksmith Shop — The

Braaks brothers used this

building for their welding

shop in Ireton until the late

1980s. Now it’s a fully-functioning

blacksmith shop.

Sod Hut — Sioux Center

is one of the few areas

in Iowa where the original

settlers lived in sod huts.

The sod hut is a highlight for

hundreds of school children

that attend the Harvest Festival

every year.

One-Room Country

School House — This

school house was built in

1928 in the Middleburg

area. The building was used

as a school until 1959 and

later was used as the township

hall. It represents the

numerous one-room country

schools that existed in

the county until the 1950s.

Church — The Heritage

Village Church is a replica of

the original church built in

Sioux Center in 1877. People

pulled their wagons up

to the building and, if they

went inside, used their wagon

seats to sit in the church.

Heritage Village attractions

or to make an appointment.

Sioux Center was

once divided into

two locations — Old

Town Sioux Center and

North Sioux Center — in the

1880s before the community

was incorporated.

The original site of Sioux

Center was plotted in 1881,

near what is now the stoplight

intersection of South

Main Avenue and Ninth

Street Southeast by First

Reformed Church.

According to a Dec. 10,

1891, issue of the Hawarden

Independent newspaper,

up until 1889 Sioux Center

“had no railroad or shipping

facilities and consequently

did not prosper to

any great extent.”

The Great Northern Railway

Company brought

change.

In 1889, the Great Northern

Land Company bought

land and built a road north

and south through Sioux

County, platting a town on

its line about three-fourths

of a mile north of Old Town

Sioux Center near what is

now Farmers Cooperative

Society, three blocks west

of the intersection of Main

Avenue and Third Street NE.

The railroad called its town

North Sioux Center.

The rail company had

purchased land from Jacob

Kosters before he moved

to Michigan and before

Kosters or Sioux Center

realized what the railroad

had in mind.

The Hawarden Independent

described the scene:

“In a few weeks, nearly

every business man in

the old town had moved

to the railroad point and

with the businessmen who

came looking for just such

a bonanza as this field

presented, the town had a

veritable boom.”

Business prospects were

too good for anyone to

spend time disputing

whether they should move

to North Sioux Center or

not. Soon, a road connected

the two towns and the mile

gap filled in with about 500

residential homes, noted

the Hawarden Independent.

The location incorporated

as one town under the

name Sioux Center on June

29, 1891.

Compiled by Sioux Center

News staff writer Renee

Wielenga, including information

from “A Pocket of

Civility: A History of Sioux

Center” by the late Mike Vanden

Bosch.

guests at round tables and more than

700 guests for receptions and seminars

and has an exclusive view of the

and privately managed by a local operating

group, the Terrace View Event

Center was built to provide the communities

of Northwest Iowa a stateof-the-art

facility to host a variety of
