With a Catholic Church, 2 elementary schools, a Junior / Senior High School, beautiful scenery and job opportunities, Cascade is a perfect place to raise a family.  

Cascade is known for a couple of famous residents, including Red Faber, who was born and raised in Cascade before being drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 1914, and was the victor in three games of the 1917 World Series against the Giants. Cascade is also proud to claim Gary Dolphin, who is the long-time and current radio play-by-play broadcaster for the University of Iowa football and basketball teams.
