Bettendorf History

Bettendorf is rich in history. The founders originally named the town Lillienthal, after a tavern and dance hall, but merged with an adjacent village name Gilbert in 1858. Around 1900, the Bettendorf brothers took over Gilbert with their ironworks.

Their business evolved into the Bettendorf Axel and Wagon Company, which subsequently became the largest railroad car shop west of the Mississippi River. In recognition of their importance, the town was incorporated as Bettendorf in 1903.

Bettendorf is now home to Arconic—a world-wide manufacturer of lightweight metals. In 1940, Alcoa built the largest aluminum rolling mill in the world.

Employment Opportunities

Home to tens of thousands of businesses across the Quad Cities region, the area’s economy is driven by five major industry clusters: advanced manufacturing and metals, agricultural innovation, corporate operations, defense, and logistics. Bettendorf offers strong opportunities for entrepreneurs and expanding companies within this diverse regional economy.

Major regional employers include John Deere, Rock Island Arsenal, UnityPoint Health–Trinity, Genesis Health System, Hy-Vee, Walmart, HNI Corporation (The HON Company and Allsteel), Tyson Fresh Meats, Arconic, and Kraft Heinz.

Attractions & Entertainment

Bettendorf offers a variety of cultural and entertainment opportunities. The river, with its waterfront parks, walkways, and Isle of Capri Casino, attracts many people. The Family Museum of Arts and Sciences offers a variety of hands-on exhibits that will keep kids fascinated for hours. The city is home to three public golf courses, with many others located around the Quad Cities area. Marinas and boat launch facilities foster boating while numerous trails are available for walking, jogging or bicycling. Attractions and entertainment opportunities for other Quad Cities communities are readily accessible to Bettendorf residents. Below are activities locals enjoy year-round.

Fall
There’s no season like the fall season, especially in Bettendorf. Picture farmers markets, cider sipping, apple picking, picnics at McManus and Middle Park, and for your furry friends, Crow Creek Dog Park. There are many events along the Mississippi River including food pairings, parades, and so much more.

Winter
Sure Iowa winters can get cold! But contrary to popular belief, winter in Iowa doesn’t have to be spent indoors. Residents can enjoy cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat-tire biking during the snowy season or explore beautiful hiking trails throughout many of the local parks. These parks are also another great place for cross-country skiing enthusiasts to explore both easy and challenging trails. Don’t forget to check out the TBK Sports Center for indoor sports, arcades, and more either.

Spring
From fun and exciting educational experiences at the Family Museum of Arts and Science to bowling at High 5 Lanes & Games and excursions with Scuba Adventures QCA, Inc., there is something to do for everyone in every season, especially when the sun begins to shine. Kids’ sports are also really big here, too! There’s deck hockey, tons of soccer fields, baseball fields, and more.

Summer
You’ll be sure to find most people in the area on the Mississippi River during the summertime enjoying the beach, playing on pontoons, or cruising on yachts! The classic charm of the American rural city paired with low buildings and quiet neighborhoods dominates the open spaces. Restaurants, sports, and parks are some of the highlights here during the summertime, and all of them are worth a visit.
