Town of Andrew

Andrew, located on the GRANT WOOD SCENIC BYWAY, is a community of 460 residents. The city is known as the birthplace of Iowa's first governor, Ansel Briggs.

Andrew is a farming community and it supports a community school. New home construction and small business expansions have helped the city grow. Travelers come to visit the restored historic Jackson County Jail, which was built in 1870, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Not far from the city is Brush Creek, a cold water trout stream.

Seed corn is produced in the area and agriculture is the area's largest industry.

Andrew is the GEOGRAPHIC CENTER - the HEART of Jackson County - which makes it a perfect base for driving or bicycling loop tours of Jackson County.
