About DeWitt

DeWitt, IA is a vibrant small town that offers residents a thriving community with a "suburban meets farm" feel. Visitors will feel right at home in this welcoming community of approximately 5,300 (2023) and are invited to experience the comforts of small-town living while being just minutes away from large city life.

DeWitt is located at the crossroads of four-lane Highways 30 and 61 and is a part of the historic Lincoln Highway, hence the nickname, The Crossroads to Opportunities. The city is also served by the Union Pacific Railroad along the south side. It is the second-largest community in Clinton County and offers a high quality of life to its residents. The community is dedicated to providing opportunities to residents of all ages and truly has something to offer everyone.

Employment Opportunities

Being at the crossroads of two major highways makes it easy for businesses to thrive—products can easily be transported to and from surrounding communities, states, and even internationally. These roads also make it easy for employees to commute into and out of DeWitt for work. Both young professionals and families choose to live here because of the unique balance between the small-town lifestyle and close proximity to larger cities. Because DeWitt is typically known as a place to live and commute, over 2,000 of its 5,300 residents choose to work outside of the city, which reflects the strength of the city’s growing economy and business community.
