Ely Community
Center Ely is a
progressive community located in the thriving Cedar Rapids/Iowa City
corridor. We have a diverse cultural and ethnic background. We have been
welcoming new citizens to our neighborhoods in record numbers. Our city has
undergone tremendous growth over the last ten years. Even with the influx of
new residents, the community has not forgotten its past. Many of the
historical buildings from our past are still standing in our historic
business district. We hope you enjoy browsing this site
for information about the Mayor and City Council,
businesses, living
in Ely, and much more. We invite

the gateway to a progressive yet historic community, your gateway to Lake
McBride and lots of other recreation, and your gateway to prosperity. Our
gate is always open for you! Weather. Click here for the most recent weather forecast for Ely from
