Reach Higher. Achieve More. 

Marion is one of the Midwest's fastest-growing cities – and one of the youngest per capita. We pride ourselves on being the best place in Iowa to raise a family and grow a business.

Marion is consistently recognized for its quality of life and forward-thinking leadership. The city has been named an All-Star Community by the Iowa League of Cities four times, frequently ranks among WalletHub’s Best Small Cities in America and was honored as Community of the Year by Community Playmaker in 2023.

This is a place where people work smarter, set lofty goals and strive to achieve the very best for their families and community. Here, we reach higher!

Marion is home to two exceptional school districts, Marion Independent and Linn-Mar Community School District.
