Shenandoah is a city in Fremont and Page Counties in the U.S. state of Iowa. The population was 5,150 at the 2010 census.
Once referred to as the "seed and nursery center of the world," Shenandoah is the home to Earl May Seed Company and the radio station KMA, founded by Earl May. The early live radio stations gave many performers their start, including The Everly Brothers and Charlie Haden.
Shenandoah, originally known as Fair Oaks, was platted in 1870, shortly after the arrival of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad into the neighborhood. Its name is derived from the local valley's resemblance to the Shenandoah Valley, in Virginia.
