Red Oak is a city in Montgomery County, Iowa, United States. Named after the red oak trees that were once abundant in the area, this community has a rich agricultural and railroad heritage.

The city developed as an important railway stop in the late 19th century, with the Burlington Railroad playing a crucial role in its growth. Red Oak gained historical significance during World War II when many of its young men served in Company M of the 168th Infantry Regiment, marking one of the highest per-capita rates of military service for any American community.

The city maintains its small-town charm while preserving its historical architecture, particularly evident in its downtown district where several buildings date back to the late 1800s. The community continues to celebrate its heritage through various cultural events and maintains several historical sites that chronicle its development from a frontier settlement to a modern rural Iowa city.
