Our idyllic town was named after its founder, Joseph Dysart, in1872, following the completion of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids, and Northern Railway. In the nearly 150 years since then, Dysart has consistently established itself, almost entirely due to the efforts of its citizens.

​

The Dysart Development Corporation aims to shine a light on the people, events, and organizations that continue to make Dysart a destination for families, businesses, and visitors. From shopping and entertainment to education and industry, Dysart is a town on the grow.

​

We encourage you to visit our community in any season. And, if you're able, stay awhile. Dysart is growing with more and more of the most kind, innovative, and friendly people calling 52224 "home."
