Lehigh and its neighbors
Around Lehigh, the nearest cities and towns are Otho (6.6 miles northwest), Dayton (6.7 miles south), Duncombe (8.2 miles north) and Stratford (8.9 miles southeast). Fort Dodge, seat of Webster County, lies 12 miles to the northwest. Webster City Municipal Airport (EBS) is 11 miles northeast of Lehigh in a straight line. 36 municipalities lie within 25 miles, each with its own customers. A service area page that lists the towns you cover, from Lehigh to Duncombe and Otho, answers the first question many customers have: do you come to me?
The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Webster City, is 15 miles from Lehigh. It records an average high of 83°F in July and an average low of 7°F in January. Precipitation totals about 37 inches a year, with June the wettest month. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 13 days a year. Cold winters bring furnace repair, snow removal, roofing and auto service, all searched in a hurry when the first cold snap arrives. A website that changes with the season helps: winter hours, summer specials, storm-season notices, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.
How big is the Lehigh market?
The population has barely moved since 2020: 399 then, 396 in 2025. Iowa as a whole changed +1.5% in the same period. When the population is steady, businesses grow by taking customers from competitors, and the website is often where that choice happens.
The Lehigh business count, sector by sector
Webster County has, among its employer businesses:
- Insurance agencies (31): a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.
- Full-service restaurants (25): the current menu with prices, hours, the address with a map and photos of real dishes.
- Child care centers (12): the program, licensing information, the staff and a contact form for parents.
- Electrical contractors (12): the towns you cover and photos of real installations.
County-wide, Webster County counts 997 businesses with employees and 2,178 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023). Webster County has 2.4 times the national share of trucking companies: 48 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shippers and brokers vet carriers, so the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. Next on the list: nondurable goods wholesalers, 34 of them, at 2.4 times the national share. Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Lehigh.
Lehigh households and how they shop
Wood is the main heating fuel for 6.5% of Lehigh homes. Wood heat means chimney cleaning, inspections and firewood, all searched by name.
Lehigh is one of 15 municipalities in Webster County, a county of 36,838 people.

Homeowners are 70.3% of households.
Iowa rules to know before your website goes live
Selling or advertising online does not change the rules, but these apply to many Lehigh businesses:
- Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue
- A trade name has to be your legal name or a trade name (assumed name) registered with Iowa. Iowa Code chapter 547 (section 547.1)
This is general information, not legal advice; check with the Iowa agencies, Webster County, the city of Lehigh or an attorney.
