Vera Cruz

Despite being the smallest incorporated town in Wells County, Vera Cruz is a town full of character and community.

The town was settled in 1841, and it was known by the name of Newville until being renamed to Vera Cruz in 1870. The name Vera Cruz was derived from a city of the same name in Mexico.

Vera Cruz has established itself as a very stable and community-driven town. This is in part due to the assistance of the town’s Community Development Committee. One of the most popular community events in Vera Cruz is their annual Halloween Walk.

The town is led by a three-member elected Town Board and a Clerk-Treasurer.
