City Logo



Leon is a charming small city located in Decatur County, Iowa. Here are two great things about living in Leon:

1. Leon is a friendly, close-knit community with a strong sense of community pride. People often help out their neighbors, and the town has a great sense of camaraderie.

2. Leon is surrounded by beautiful countryside and offers plenty of outdoor recreation opportunities, including fishing, hunting, and camping.

The one unappealing thing about living in Leon is that it can be difficult to find certain amenities that people living in larger towns and cities may take for granted. For instance, there is no movie theater or shopping mall nearby.
