Located between Independence and Manchester on Historic Route 20, Winthrop is a thriving community that is proud to be known as one of the friendliest places to visit in northeast Iowa. We invite you to check out our small-town atmosphere, friendly people, and progressive spirit. Come see why it is called “The Friendliest Town for Miles Around!”
