Welcome to the City of Fort Dodge s official Facebook page!

Our primary goal is to keep you informed about city news, updates, and events. Although we aim to answer questions and address concerns as thoroughly as possible, directing you to the relevant department for specific issues does not mean we're unwilling to help. It just means that the department we're referring you to will be able to assist you more effectively.
