From humble beginnings in May 1950, Hiawatha has become a proud fiscally conservative city with great values that attract families to clean friendly neighborhoods and progressive commercial and industrial development.

A one time bedroom community, Hiawatha prides its self as the Crown Jewel of the I-380 Metro Corridor that promotes a can-do spirit and a one stop answer center for contractors and developers.

Because of careful planning, we have been able to focus on clean small and medium sized companies.
