Rating 4.12 out of 5 26 reviews
If you enjoy your peace and quiet, Orange City is the town for you. With a limited population of just over 6,000 people, there are not many distractions within the town. Orange City values its Dutch heritage, celebrated by a Tulip Festival each year in May. Many of the residents of Orange City have an affiliation with MOC-Floyd Valley High School, Unity Christian High School, or Northwestern College. One item of consideration for Orange City to make a change in is their restaurant selection. Equipped with a Taco Johns, Pizza Ranch, Hardees, and a few other establishments, there is a limited selection of places to grab a bite to eat. Due to the small population, the residents of Orange City have been able to build a strong community. "Everybody knows everybody" is a phrase you will probably hear if you stick around for a couple of days.
Charming, quaint little town with a lot of history. Friendly people and some great food! One of the safest towns you'll ever find.
Orange City is a small town of 6,000 in Northwest Iowa. Don't let that number fool you, though. Orange City has a public elementary and high school, a private elementary and high school, private college, hospital, two retirement homes, fifteen churches and many more. It is bustling with activity, and Dutch heritage. We have the Tulip Festival on the third weekend in May; which showcases Dutch costumes, floats, foods, and many more! The whole town gets involved with putting on the Tulip Festival, and thousands of people from all over the world come to watch our Dutch kids scrub streets, dance, and ride floats. Orange City has been my home all my life, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. The sense of community and love that emits from this town is unbelievable.
