OUR HISTORY

The city, named for John W. Traer, got its start with the building of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railway running through the territory.
Traer is known for the iron winding staircase that originally led to the office of the local newspaper. The staircase is freestanding, reverse spiral and connected to the building with a suspended walkway, a somewhat rare arrangement.
