Mississippi Riverwalk & American Trust River's Edge Plaza

Along the River...

The Mississippi River has influenced the heritage and make up of Dubuque's vibrant culture.

Thanks to its location along the world's fourth longest river, Dubuque's economy has been heavily influenced by the waterway.

Founder Julien Dubuque was the first permanent settler to the area. He quickly established relationships with the Mesquakie Indian Tribe which led to a growing trade market. Once the area was chartered in 1837, industry grew rapidly. While initially known for it's fur trading and lead mining, settlers brought new business, such as button making, boat construction and millworking, along the river.

Heritage + History

As Iowa’s oldest city, Dubuque has a lot to offer.

Here are some unique historical facts & folklore to aid you on your next visit to the area.

1785

French Canadian fur trader, Julien Dubuque becomes the area's first permanent settler.

1833

1856

The historic Shot Tower was built to produce lead shots for the military.

Thanks to the Black Hawk Purchase Treaty, Dubuque is open for settlement.

By 1837, the area was known as Dubuque, named after it's founder, Julien Dubuque.

Founder Julien Dubuque

Drawing of Julien Dubuque

The first permanent settler to Dubuque was a French-Canadian fur trader, Julien Dubuque. He befriended the Mesquakie Indians who occupied the region at the time.

After developing close relationships with the Mesquakie, Julien was shown and permitted to mine the many lead deposits. He named the area Mines of Spain, and successfully operated it until his death in 1810.

Under the Black Hawk Purchase Treaty in 1833, the United States Government opened the area up for settlement. It came to be known as Dubuque when it was chartered in 1837.

Shot Tower

"Birdseye View of Dubuque," W. J. Gilbert, 1858 (State Historical Society of Iowa).

26 | www.traveldubuque.com

Dubuque’s Shot Tower was built in 1856 to efficiently produce lead shots for the military. Molten lead was poured through a grate at the top of the tower. Then, the relatively uniform drops that fell from the grate would land in the water below which cooled the lead into its solid state.

The tower has been burned (interior only), hit by a train, repaired and renovated to its current state.

Shot Tower

what to do

1898

1897

The romanesque style brew-house, Dubuque Star Brewery, was built in what is now the Port of Dubuque.

80 years after Dubuque's death in 1810, the Julien Dubuque Monument was erected. Today, this 29 foot high, 12 foot in diameter stone structure is still visible to the public at the Mines of Spain.

Fenelon Place Elevator

Fenelon Place Elevator Dubuque Iowa, circa 1882, was an hour and a half town. Over the lunch hour, everything shut down for an hour and a half. Unfortunately for Mr. J. K. Graves, the route to his house required a half hour buggy ride around the bluff. He decided to build a cable car to cut down on his commute. The original cable car was hauled up and down on two rails by a hemp rope, and housed a coal-fired steam engine boiler. After the cable car burned down twice, ten neighbors founded the Fenelon Place Elevator Company. This group eventually upgraded the motor, added a turnstile and replaced the hemp rope with steel cable. In 1977, the cable cars were completely rebuilt.

Capone Suite at the Hotel Julien Dubuque

Hotel Julien Dubuque This hotel has hosted many famous guests but none as notorious as Chicago gangster, Al Capone. When “things were too hot to handle” in Chicago, it is legend that Al Capone would hide out at this historic hotel. He reportedly made use of a nearby underground garage to hide his cars and further conceal his presence in Dubuque. Some say he even owned the hotel at one point. Today, you can live like this prohibition-era gangster by staying in the Capone Suite. Tucked away in a private area of the hotel, this suite offers a vintage theme that is rich with “Old Hollywood glamour.”

Star Brewery Complex

Historic Star Brewery Complex Iowa’s oldest brewery was founded by the Rhomberg family in 1898. The five-story brick brew house was forced to close, along with other breweries, with the beginning of Prohibition & reopened in 1933 with its repeal.

The brewery changed hands several more times before being acquired by the City of Dubuque and renovated as part of the America’s River Project in the early 2000s.

Today, the Star Brewery Complex features an historical display on its ground floor. Stone Cliff Winery also operates on the ground floor with an expanded winery & tasting center.
