      city, Black Hawk county, east-central Iowa, U.S., on the Cedar River, just west of Waterloo. Settled in 1845 by William Sturgis and laid out in 1852, it was first called Sturgis Falls until 1849 when it was renamed for the cedar trees along the river. Cedar Falls served briefly as the county seat in 1853–55. After the American Civil War and the arrival of the railroad, the city boomed as a shipping point for grain, livestock, and lumber.

      The modern economy primarily is based on the University of Northern Iowa (founded as the Iowa State Normal School in 1876). There is also some light manufacturing, including farm equipment. George Wyth Memorial State Park is located between the two cities, and Heery Woods State Park is about 15 miles (25 km) northwest. Sturgis Falls Days Celebration is held annually in June. Inc. 1853. Pop. (1990) city, 34,298; Waterloo–Cedar Falls MSA, 123,798; (2000) city, 36,145; Waterloo–Cedar Falls MSA, 128,012.
