Ottumwa on the Des Moines River
Ottumwa sits on the Des Moines River in southeast Iowa with a population of about 24,600. The city was a coal mining center in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and later became a meatpacking hub. The Hormel and Morrell meatpacking plants operated here for decades before closures and consolidation reshaped the local economy.
Radar O'Reilly, the fictional character from the television show M*A*S*H, was written as being from Ottumwa. The connection has become part of the city's identity. The Wapello County Historical Museum preserves artifacts from the coal mining and meatpacking eras.
The Beach Ottumwa waterpark, opened in 2004, replaced the former municipal pool and draws visitors during summer months. Indian Hills Community College serves the educational needs of the region. The city has attracted a growing immigrant workforce tied to remaining food processing operations.
