- Q6609952 abstract "This partial list of city nicknames in Iowa compiles the aliases, sobriquets and slogans that cities in Iowa are known by (or have been known by historically), officially and unofficially, to municipal governments, local people, outsiders or their tourism boards or chambers of commerce. City nicknames can help in establishing a civic identity, helping outsiders recognize a community or attracting people to a community because of its nickname; promote civic pride; and build community unity. Nicknames and slogans that successfully create a new community "ideology or myth" are also believed to have economic value. Their economic value is difficult to measure, but there are anecdotal reports of cities that have achieved substantial economic benefits by "branding" themselves by adopting new slogans.Some unofficial nicknames are positive, while others are derisive. The unofficial nicknames listed here have been in use for a long time or have gained wide currency.Algona - Home of the World's Largest CheetoCedar Rapids - The City of Five SeasonsCenterville - Methville Council Bluffs - Iowa's Leading EdgeDes Moines - Hartford of the WestDyersville - Farm Toy Capital of the WorldEmmetsburg - Iowa's Irish CapitalFort Dodge - Mineral CityFort Madison - Pen CityGrinnell - Jewel of the PrairieKeokuk - Gate City (reported in the 1880s)Le Mars - Ice Cream Capital of the WorldSioux City - Little Chicago Villisca - Living with a Mystery".
