We offer an abundance of natural resources, recreational opportunities, scenic views, and unique locally-owned businesses. Fayette County is a great place to raise a family, building a business, network with young professionals, and find a place to retire in the heart of Northeast Iowa.
Where are we?
Fayette County is located at the beginning of the Driftless Area in Northeast Iowa just south of the Decorah area. Hwy 150 and Hwy 18 cross our county seat.
