MAYOR'S WELCOME

We welcome you to Rock Island, Illinois! The first city of the Illinois/Iowa Quad Cities to be settled over 165 years ago, Rock Island prides itself on preserving neighborhoods reflecting its rich and colorful past within a community enthusiastically embracing the future. We are home to a healthy and diverse business community of professionals, service, and manufacturing centers which work in partnership with a progressive and cooperative local government to make good things happen. Our public and private schools win national recognition for excellence and effectiveness. Downtown Rock Island is home of "the District" - The Arts and Entertainment center of the greater Quad City metropolitan area of over 400,000 people.

The quality of life here - to live, to work and to play - is outstanding. We look forward to welcoming you, your family, or your business to our community.

May the pages that follow serve as an invitation to join our commitment to "preserving the past, while being dedicated to the future."
 
Mayor Mark Schwiebert
