About Carlisle, IA
People settled in the area of Carlisle in the early 1800s at a place along the Des Moines River called Dudley. After the Great Flood of 1851 wiped out Dudley, the town’s residents moved to the present day location of Carlisle and named the city after another city of the same name in Pennsylvania.
Like many cities in the Des Moines area, Carlisle was the site of a number of railroads that passed through the town on the way to other destinations. These lines have since been abandoned, and many have been turned into walking and cycling trails.
Today Carlisle is an easy-going suburb of Des Moines that attracts many young professionals and families who want to be close to Des Moines, but in a more peaceful environment. Residents love the affordable real estate in Carlisle, the relaxed pace of life and the beautiful rural scenery.
