Discover De Soto

The City of De Soto is located right off Exit 110 where Interstate 80 intersects with U.S. Highway 169. We offer the charm of small-town living with convenient 10+ minute access to the Des Moines metropolitan area. Our residents are able to enjoy an easy commute to work, shopping, and entertainment while returning home to a quiet community. We ocated on the southern edge of Dallas County, one of the fastest growing counties in the country.

Established in 1868, De Soto takes pride in its strong small-town values and family-oriented atmosphere. The city is known as a close-knit, primarily residential community with quiet streets, mature trees, and well-kept neighborhoods.
