Welcome to Thornton, Iowa — a friendly community of 400+ neighbors tucked just one mile west of I-35 at Exit 180. We're perfectly positioned halfway between Minneapolis–St. Paul and Des Moines, making us an easy stop, a great place to visit, and an even better place to call home.

​

Don't let our size fool you. You'll find great places to eat, a gas and convenience store, insurance and real estate services, accounting, and a beautifully maintained nine-hole golf course — plus plenty of small-town hospitality to go with it.

​

Whether you're passing through, putting down roots, or teeing off on a sunny afternoon, we're glad you're here!
