How we got here
Shenandoah became incorporated on March 16, 1974 as a small community. Since then, its two square miles has seen residential and business development.
There are 60 restaurants, five shopping centers and 13 hotels, providing sales tax revenue that allows the city to have a low property tax rate, as previously reported by Community Impact.
