About Cedar Falls

Cedar Falls is a city in Black Hawk County, Iowa, about 6 miles west of Waterloo. Wikidata lists 1845 as its founding year.

Like the rest of the Waterloo area, Cedar Falls has a humid continental climate: cold, snowy winters and warm summers, so freeze-thaw cycles and spring storms are part of planning towing here.
