Welcome to Shirleyville - established in 1879 by Dutch and German immigrant families of Vanwyk, Tanzler and Eckman, in the grassy fields and fertile lands of northwestern Iowa. It's the best, according to Shirleyville Journal, place to raise your family in the whole US! It's home to Shirleyville Beavers, the beloved football team and victims of the 1988 tragedy and the mildly succesfull late 90s-early 00s TV series actor, Chad Potter. Shirleyville is the perfect place to live, with the smalltown atmopshere and all the facilities your heart might desire - if you escape the horrors lurking everywhere.
