From our quaint beginnings in Newton, Iowa when we first welcomed new movers until today when we have pioneered a digital welcoming package that personalizes each certificate, Our Town has been an innovator, as well as a leader in the new mover industry.

Our Town still provides new movers with the traditional hospitality of warm gifts from the neighborhood in a premium gift package. Personal thoughtfulness and generosity are as appreciated today as they were 30 years ago.

Today, all across America, Our Town introduces over 6 million families to businesses in their new communities.
