Living in Davenport, IA
The development of Davenport and the surrounding areas of Scott County began with the Black Hawk War between the United States and Native American tribes in the early 1800s. Antoine LeClaire and George Davenport, the city's namesake, were among the city's first founders. Because of the town's ideal location along the Mississippi River, many trade routes that connected Davenport to port cities in the South became the main source of its growth during the 1800s. Today, Davenport is one of the fastest-growing communities in Iowa, with more than 100,000 residents, according to estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.
