Historic Map - Davenport, IA - 1888
Description
View of Davenport, Scott County, I.A., 1888 / drawn & published by H. Wellge.
This bird’s-eye view print of Davenport, Iowa was drawn by Henry Wellge and published by American Publishing Co. in 1888. Davenport maintained as an ambitious riverboat port until the mid-1800's when the Rock Island Railroad erected a railway bridge at that point across the Mississippi River. This connected Davenport with Rock Island and Moline, Illinois. The towns worked closely as the “Three Cities” until Bettendorf was established just north of Davenport. The towns then became known as, the now familiar, “Quad Cities”, with common economic interests of agriculture and agricultural equipment manufacture.
Davenport was a major grain shipping center where some of the largest elevators in Iowa were constructed. Some grain was processed in Davenport, but trainloads of wheat, corn, oats and barley were shipped to mills beyond. In the 1880s an important streetcar system was installed connecting the communities of Davenport, Moline and Rock Island.
The map includes bridge, buildings, labeled streets and railroad routes. Riverboat and barge activity is displayed in the foreground with featured steamer “Golden Gate”.
