About Waterville, IA


The first settlement in the neighborhood of what would become Waterville was in 1850. In 1854, Nathaniel Beebe erected the Waterville Mill. In 1855, Col. J. Spooner opened a store, and in 1856, James Beebe built a hotel. The Waukon and Mississippi Railroad was completed through town in 1877, at which point, Waterville became the only station between Waukon and Waukon Junction.

Waterville is located in a very scenic area of Allamakee County. The city is close to many fishing streams and bountiful hunting areas. Yellow River State Forest is nearby. This small community hosts a variety of rural businesses serving the farmers and sportspeople and shoppers of the area. The current population is approximately 150. Paint Creek runs directly through Waterville. It is a stocked trout stream that offers fishing action with easy access from the road. There is also a handicap access in the Kolsrud Park on the west edge of town.
