Forest City, Iowa
Forest City is a city in Hancock and Winnebago counties in the U.S. state of Iowa, and the county seat of Winnebago County. The population was 4,285 in the 2020 census, a decline from the 4,362 population in 2000. History Forest City was officially founded in 1855.

It was then platted in 1856, and later incorporated on June 14, 1878.
