Iowa Central Community College was organized in 1966 with a broad mandate to offer a wide range of educational opportunities to residents in nine counties. Iowa Central was built on the solid foundation of three area schools that operate from the 1920s by public schools. Fort Dodge was organized in 1921, the city of Webster, 1926, and Eagle Grove, 1928. Iowa Central came into force following the Iowa School Zone Act passed by the 61st General Assembly. The law allows two or more county school systems merged to form an area of the university community. Nine countries have been combined to create Central Iowa: Buena Vista, Calhoun, Greene, Hamilton, Humboldt, Pocahontas, Sac, Webster and Wright. The result has merged some V Zone 28,000 students in 31 public school districts. In 1971, the fourth center was added to the completion of a new building in Storm Lake. Center of the Storm Lake was originally created to serve 12 public and private school systems in the county of Buena Vista as a high school career. Over the years, the center of Storm Lake has been expanded and now offers the full range of programs of the university community. In 1975, Central Iowa joined Buena Vista College in Storm Lake in the cooperative where students can get some participation in evening classes. Students of the first two years were completed in central Iowa and the last two years in Buena Vista, in the center of Fort Dodge.
