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 located at 43°17′16″N 93°12′14″W (43.287766, -93.203800).[5] Manly is located 16 miles south of the Minnesota border placed at the conjunction between Highway 65 and 9.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.47 square miles (3.81 km2), all land.[6]
Manly's public schools are operated by the Central Springs Community School District,[7] established on July 1, 2006, by the merger of North Central Community School District and Nora Springs–Rock Falls Community School District.[8] Prior to the merger it was in the North Central district.[9]
Manly is the home of the Central Springs Panthers, previously the North Central Falcons.[10] 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 other half of the elementary kids originating near the Nora Springs, Rock Falls, and Portland area go to school in the Nora Springs building. All students then attend middle school in a Nora Springs building. Upon completion of 7th grade, they go to Manly where the High School is located.[11] The school colors are black and blue, and the mascot is a panther.[12]
