What Makes Waterloo Home

Waterloo grew along the Cedar River and became one of Iowa’s most important manufacturing cities during the 20th century. Agriculture was already central to the surrounding Cedar Valley, and the growth of farm-equipment manufacturing created an industrial identity that remains visible today.

John Deere’s presence became particularly important. Waterloo was home to the first John Deere tractor factory, helping connect the city’s manufacturing economy directly to the farms and agricultural businesses operating throughout Iowa and the Midwest.

Industries That Move Waterloo Forward

Advanced manufacturing, food processing, agriculture, healthcare, and logistics keep the Cedar Valley working.

Manufacturing remains one of the Cedar Valley’s defining industries. The sector supports more than 20,000 regional jobs, with major employers producing agricultural equipment, food products, and other manufactured goods. Deere & Company and Tyson Fresh Meats are two of the companies anchoring that industrial base.

Waterloo’s position in one of the country’s most productive agricultural regions also supports food processing, distribution, trucking, and businesses that supply farms and manufacturers.

Behind all of that production is material movement. MH Equipment helps manufacturers, warehouses, and distribution facilities keep products flowing with forklifts, maintenance, parts, rentals, and warehouse solutions.

Things to Do Around Waterloo

Waterloo’s industrial heritage sits alongside riverfront recreation, museums, entertainment, and more than 100 miles of area trails.

John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum

Located at the site of John Deere’s first tractor factory, the museum tells the story of agricultural equipment and manufacturing in Waterloo. Interactive exhibits and historic machinery show how tractor technology changed farming around the world.

Lost Island

Waterloo’s Lost Island attractions include both a waterpark and a themed amusement park. The theme park features immersive areas, roller coasters, family rides, and interactive entertainment.

Grout Museum District

The district brings several museums together, including the Grout Museum of History & Science and Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum. Exhibits cover Cedar Valley history, science, space, and Iowa’s military heritage.

Waterloo RiverLoop

Downtown’s RiverLoop area brings together trails, public spaces, an amphitheater, the Waterloo Center for the Arts, and access to the Cedar River. It is a good place to see how the city has reconnected downtown with the waterway that helped shape it.
