Fayette County is located in the northeastern part of the state of Iowa. It was established on December 21, 1837, but its present boundaries were defined on February 20, 1847. The county was named in honor of Marquis de La Fayette, a French general and statesman who played a significant role in the American Revolutionary War.

Initially inhabited by Native American tribes, the county saw an influx of European settlers in the early 19th century, primarily from countries such as Germany, Ireland, and England. The primary industries in Fayette County during the 19th century included farming and timber, with settlements coming together to form villages and towns supported by these industries.

Fayette County is known for its picturesque landscapes and beautiful natural resources, boasting several parks, rivers, and trails. The vibrant towns in the area offer a variety of recreation, shopping, and dining experiences. Some notable cities within the county include West Union, the county seat, and Fayette, home of the Upper Iowa University.
