Take some time to walk along our historic main street, Chestnut Street, which is a bustling center for businesses, and a beautiful centerpiece to our community. Daylilies, Spirias and Petunias cover each corner with vibrant color during the summer. In the winter, Chestnut Street is aglow with thousands of white lights strung in the trees and along the rooftops. Throughout Atlantic, you’ll find that feeling of a traditional Iowa hometown.

Atlantic is the county seat of Cass County, Iowa. The community is an hour outside of both Des Moines, Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska. We’re six quick miles south of Interstate 80 and Highway 83/Highway 6 is our major East-West street through town.
