Welcome to City of Slater City of Slater… Small town, Big Community
In the City of Slater, we are defined less by boundaries on a map than by the sense of shared values our residents hold dear. Small-town values, guided growth, and preservation of historical, cultural, and natural heritage are just a few of the core principles that make the City of Slater a wonderful place to call home.
Situated midway between Ames and Ankeny, we are known as the Grand Central Station of Trails. Here, the High Trestle Trail, Heart of Iowa Nature Trail, and bike lanes along R38 from Ames all come together, attracting thousands of cyclists and visitors to our community each year.
Whether you're participating in one of our annual events, exploring our shops on Main Street, or simply seeking a Small Town, Big Community vibe to grow your business and/or family, we have plenty to offer and hope you'll agree with us that Everything is Greater in Slater!
