Toronto, IA

united states

Toronto is a tiny Mississippi River community in eastern Iowa, about 20 miles northwest of the Quad Cities. Most visitors arrive via Highway 136 from Davenport or county roads from Iowa City. The town of 87 people sits in scenic river valley country where bluffs break up Iowa's typical prairie landscape. Toronto claims the smallest post office in Iowa, operating from a shed-sized building that's been serving residents since 1883.
