Greetings!As Mayor, and on behalf of the 58,000 residents of Dubuque, I thank you for your interest in Iowa’s first city … our “Masterpiece on the Mississippi!”
Dubuque is blessed with a hardworking, skilled and educated workforce, supported by numerous quality private and public institutions of higher learning. We promote citizen involvement and community engagement in developing our City’s vision and priorities which is why Dubuque has been recognized among the top cities in the Midwest to raise a family, have a meaningful career, start or grow a business, and enjoy life!
Dubuque is considered the “birthplace of Iowa” and features a rich history, interesting architecture, and abundant natural beauty. In addition to excellent accommodations and conference settings, Dubuque features the Port of Dubuque’s breathtaking riverwalk along the Mississippi, award-winning restaurants, charming shops, art and river history museums, elegant turn-of-the-century homes, and many other attractions.
Since 2006, Dubuque has become a leader in the practical application of sustainability principles represented in the citizen-developed, City Council-adopted, and community-supported initiative known as “Sustainable Dubuque.” This focus offers a balanced approach to life quality in the areas of economic prosperity, environmental integrity, and social/cultural vibrancy (see www.sustainabledubuque.org). “Smarter Sustainable Dubuque,” our collaboration with IBM Research to become IBM’s first “smart city” in North America, has allowed us to share our story around the nation and the world. In Fall 2014, the Intelligent Community Forum named Dubuque as one of just five U.S. cities named the world’s “Smart21 Communities” of 2015. In August, SmartAsset.com named Dubuque one of the 10 Best American Cities to Work in Technology. Other important recognitions stemming from our public/private partnerships have resulted in the coveted Outstanding Tourism Community of the Year award from the State of Iowa and the 2013 All-America City designation by the National Civic League, the third time in six years! Our community was honored to be named one of the 2013 10 Great Places to Live by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance and one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People five times by the America’s Promise Alliance. In 2010, Forbes recognized Dubuque as the Best Small City to Raise a Family, and in 2008 the U.S. Conference of Mayors selected
Dubuque as the Most Livable Small City in the nation!
I invite you to visit Dubuque soon and enjoy all the amenities our All-America City has to share, including our free trolley service (Memorial Day weekend through October)!
Sincerely,
Mayor Roy D. Buol

Along the River...what
to do
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.
At the turn of the century,
Dubuque's Millwork District was
booming. Logs that had been floated
down the Mississippi River were
transformed by master craftsman at
dozens of companies. Today, these
historic warehouses have been given
new life with an expansive renovation
project. The CARADCO building
is home to a variety of businesses
including retail, art galleries and
more.
Dubuque's connection to the river
is evident when you visit the Port of
Dubuque. The $400 million riverfront
revitalization has gained national
recognition. Most recently, Dubuque
was named fourth Best American
Riverfront in USA Today's 10Best.com
poll.. Dubuque ranked in the top ten
with communities like Wilmington,
NC; Spokane, WA; and Savannah, GA.
Dubuque's riverfront is full of
opportunities for a vistior. Take a

French Canadian fur trader, Julien Dubuque becomes the area's first permanent settler.
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.
The historic Shot Tower was built to produce lead shots for the military.1785

Drawing of Julien Dubuque
Founder Julien DubuqueThe 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 TowerDubuque’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.
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.

Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa. This catch phrase got it's fame from the Academy Award nominated film,
Field of Dreams, primarily shot in Dyersville, Iowa.
Today, Dubuque is home to nearly 60,000 residents and has been
recognized nationally for it's redevelopment and
reinvention.
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.
The romanesque style brew-house, Dubuque Star Brewery, was built in what is now the Port of Dubuque.
Dubuque was named fourth Best American Riverfront by readers of USA Today's 10Best.com.

Fenelon Place ElevatorCapone Suite at the
Hotel Julien Dubuque Star Brewery Complex
Fenelon Place ElevatorDubuque 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.
Hotel Julien DubuqueThis 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.”
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.

Voices from the Warehouse District
Dubuque Oktoberfest
Year round, there is a lively mix of festivals, concerts, performances, and celebrations found in the Dubuque area.Looking to bring home the locally
grown goodness of the Dubuque
Farmers' Market? Look no further
than the heart of downtown! This
Saturday morning, Upper Main Street
district staple features goods from a
wide selection of produce, cheese,
meats, and craft vendors. In the
cooler months, the fun heads indoors
for the Winter Farmers' Market at the
Colts Center in downtown Dubuque!
This June, hear from up and
coming country artists and rock
legends at America's River Festival
in the Port of Dubuque. For the past
decade, the festival has brought
national entertainment acts like Lady
Antebellum, Dierks Bentley, Lynyrd
Skynyrd, REO Speedwagon, Styx and
more! This year, taste the flavors of
the area at the inaugural America's
River Festival Brewfest, held before
the Saturday night concerts.
Experience a little bit of Ireland
this August at the Irish Hooley.
This celebration of Dubuque's Irish
heritage includes live music, a 5K Run
& Walk, dancing and more.
Become a participant. In October,
run a 5K while being decked out in
color during the Color Vibe 5K. This
race is put on in part with the annual
Oktoberfest that is hosted at A.Y.
McDonald Park along the Mississippi
River. The festival keeps in touch with
Dubuque's German roots with music,
beer, food and fun.
If you plan to attend the annual
Dubuque Food & Wine Festival,

One look at the vast landscape of
rolling farms, and you’ll understand
why so many songs, books, and
movies have found inspiration in this
part of the country.
According to the United States
Department of Agriculture, Iowa is
2nd in top agricultural producing
states. In the Dubuque area you’ll
find that agritourism is alive, thriving,
and well worth the adventure.
Discover the families who help feed America, the million dollar sunsets, & the small town values that make visiting this area so special.
Farmers from all over the Midwest
offer their fresh picked vegetables,
homemade jams, oven baked pies
& other farm fresh items to one of
two Farmers' Markets. From May to
October, vendors surround City Hall
and the Upper Main Street District at
the Dubuque Farmers' Market. When
the weather turns cooler, Winter
Farmers' Market heads indoors to the
Colt Center to include recent harvests
& hand-made goods.
From Iowa's only organic vineyard to a third generation orchard, experience the farm like never before.

The Dubuque
Food Co-Op
is the area's first
community-owned,
natural, organic and
local food store. While the store
is membership driven, anyone is
welcome to shop. Vendors who
provide products to the store are
located within 100 miles to market.
Situated in the beautifully restored
Historic Warehouse District, the
Dubuque Food Co-Op helps to
support the local agricultural
community while bringing awareness
to sourcing local food.
There is no shortage of wineries in
the Dubuque area, each offering
unique experiences for their guests.
At Crimson Sunset Vineyards in
Cascade, Iowa, you can sip on wine
crafted from Iowa's only organic
vineyard. This facility is 100% solar
and wind powered and owned by
husband & wife, Kevin & Lisa Miller.
Grapes are hand-picked and placed
into lugs where they are sorted.
From there the grapes are put
into a distemper where the stems
are removed so only the grape
remains. After this process, they are
transported into bins where grapes
meant for red wines will ferment
in the bins, on the skins. Grapes for
white wine are pressed out and head
into fermentation tanks. From the
vine, to the glass, these locally grown
wines are sold at the winery and
area stores.
Tour the greenhouses and
hydroponic fodder systems at
FarmTek in Dyersville, Iowa. Offering
tours Mondays, Wednesdays, &
Fridays at 10:00 am & 2:00 pm,
greenhouse staff will introduce you
to the hydroponic fodder growing
system. This system allows farmers
to grow economical and renewable
fodder (food given to animals
rather than the food they forage for
themselves) in a rapid amount of
time. The process produces high
quality, nutrient rich fodder each day
with a 7 day growing cycle.
In the fall, take a trip to the
third-generation, family-owned,
Czipar’s Apple Orchard. In 1940, the
Czipar family developed the orchard
that has been handed down through
two generations. Situated on a bluff
with rolling hills and a spectacular
view, the orchard offers a variety of
apples, apple cider donuts and other
home grown treats.
