Cromwell

Cromwell, located 6 miles west of Creston, was founded in 1869 and was the preliminary choice for the division point on the new Burlington & Missouri River Railroad line. However, after further examination, B&MRR surveyors decided that the nearby land would require too much work to make a division point at Cromwell practical. choosing Creston instead.  Cromwell's population reached just over 200 at its peak at the turn of the century.  The current population is around 115.

Cromwell Harvest Fest held each September is just one of the events held annually at the city park.
