About the town
About Carroll
Carroll is the county seat and the area's hub for shopping, healthcare and jobs. Families can choose between the Carroll Community School District and the Kuemper Catholic School System. Our office is at 512 N Court St, and we'd be glad to show you what's on the market.
Carroll exists because of the railroad. The Chicago and North Western pushed its Iowa mainline west across the county in the late 1860s. The town was laid out in 1867, and the first depot went up the same year. The name comes indirectly, through the county, from Charles Carroll of Carrollton. He was the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence, and the last of them to die. In April 1868 the county records were moved here from the older settlement at Carrollton. The new railroad town had eleven residents at the time. It was incorporated as Carroll City in 1869 and renamed Carroll in 1875.
Public students attend the Carroll Community School District, which runs Fairview and Adams elementaries, Carroll Middle School and Carroll High School. Carroll is also the seat of the Kuemper Catholic School System, a regional preschool-through-12 system serving the surrounding parishes.
