Jasper County, Iowa
Jasper County is where the city meets the country. Newton is the county seat. It was once the “Washing Machine Capital of the World”. How’s that for a claim to fame?
These days, it’s better known for its connection to NASCAR, with the Iowa Speedway. The county’s population of around 38,000 keeps things lively.
Mariposa Recreation Area offers a respite from the hustle and bustle, while the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge lets you see what Iowa looked like before we planted all that corn.
