Manly is a city in Worth County, Iowa, United States. The population was 1,256 at the time of the 2020 census.[2] It is part of the Mason City Micropolitan Statistical Area.

History[]

Manly (originally called Manly Junction) was laid out in 1877 at the junction of two railroads: the Rock Island and the Chicago Great Western. In 1912 the Rock Island made it a division point, with roundhouse and shops that employed several hundred workers.[3] A Rock Island caboose sits at the southeast railroad crossing of IA-9 in commemoration of the town's history, and in 2006 a Rock Island engine was installed next to it with a dedication ceremony held on Manly's annual Railroad/Ag Days celebration.[4]

Manly is the home of the Central Springs Panthers, previously the North Central Falcons.[10] The high school, and half of the elementary students originating in the Manly, Hanlontown, and Plymouth region go to school in Manly from preschool to 3rd grade. While the middle schoolers, from Manly, Nora Springs, and the other half of the elementary kids originating near the Nora Springs, Rock Falls, and Portland area go to school in the Nora Springs building. Until 8th grade then they go to Manly where the High School is located.[11] The school colors are black and blue, the mascot being a panther.[12] The school song is the M. S. U. School Song, shortened so that the cheerleaders can dance to it.[citation needed]
