Summary

[edit]
Description

West Liberty is a city in Muscatine County, Iowa, United States. The population was 3,736 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Muscatine Micropolitan Statistical Area.

West Liberty is located 5 miles south of Interstate 80 on Historic Highway 6. It is a racially and culturally diverse city, and boasts technological and educational opportunities often found only in large, urban areas. The city is home to the West Liberty Raceway, located in the Muscatine County Fairgrounds. The Muscatine County Fair takes place in West Liberty in July of each year.

West Liberty was incorporated in 1868. The town was located at the junction of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific and Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railroads. Prior to incorporation the town stood about half a mile north of where it is currently located but it was relocated in order to be closer to the railway. The name Liberty is after the town of Liberty, Ohio, the former home of many of the new settlers. It is believed that the town came to be known as West Liberty after it was relocated, possibly influenced by a town west of Liberty, Ohio that was named West Liberty, Ohio.

West Liberty Foods is a producer of turkey products that has a meat processing facility as well as its corporate headquarters in the city.
