WELCOME TO TOWN OF FOREST CITY!

We are so very happy to receive your visit. The web site is a collective effort of all town departments and was developed as a tool to help us share Forest City's heritage, government structure, services, policies, planned events, and much more.

I trust you will enjoy our web visit, but I strongly encourage you to visit us in person. Forest City is a beautiful Main Street Community that has retained its small town friendly atmosphere. We invite you to stroll down Main Street and enjoy the seasonal flowers, or relax near the fountain just before enjoying a meal at one of the local restaurants or coffee shop.

Forest City is a wonderful community with a colorful history and a bright future. We invite you to come work and grow with us as we strive to take on the challenges of the 21st century, and at the same time retain the simple pleasures and family friendly atmosphere of small town life.

James W. Gibson, Mayor

We offer our sincere appreciation to Police Officers Rothrock and Bumgarner for their display of courage and valor in saving the life of Mrs. Mamie Gumbs by pulling her from her burning residence.
