welcome
Greetings
from Mayor
Roy D. Buol
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 Counciladopted, 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
and, in 2010, Dubuque was selected as one of the Ten Smartest Cities on
the Planet by Fast Company. 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 by the America’s Promise Alliance in five of the
past six years. 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!
The Visitor's Guide is a publication
of the Dubuque Area Convention &
Visitors Bureau in partnership with
TH Media. Due to space limitations,
not all information about attractions
nor events occurring in the Dubuque
area can be included. Please visit

Get to know
Dubuque, Iowa.
Located in
Dubuque
Known as the “Key City” to Irish and German
immigrants who saw it as a gateway to the
west, Dubuque is Iowa’s oldest city. It rests
upon scenic bluffs overlooking the Mississippi
River with an abundance of natural resources.
When its first permanent settler, Julien
Dubuque, arrived in 1785 he established a
close relationship with the Meskwaki Indian
Tribe that lead to a growing trade market
which attracted more settlers. After being
chartered in 1837, industry in Dubuque grew
rapidly. Initially known for fur trading and
lead mining, settlers brought new business
such as button making, boat construction,
and mill working.
300 Main Street, Suite 100 | Dubuque, IA
800.798.8844 | www.traveldubuque.com
Stop by the Iowa Welcome Center on Main
Street and load up on maps, brochures
and merchandise that will help you get to
know and remember this modernized city.
Informational kiosks located conveniently
throughout the downtown area will also assist
you in your explorations.
With a vision from area leaders, in the late
1990’s the America’s River Project was
created. This project was developed with the
goal of redeveloping Dubuque’s Riverfront.
The project started out with a goal of raising
$25 million. That $25 million grew into
what today is a $400 million riverfront
redevelopment that includes a state-of-theart convention center, upscale attractions,
a riverfront that gleams and glistens
with expanded businesses. This project
encouraged other areas of the community
to grow as well. From a bustling downtown
district, the revitalization of the historic
millwork district, to growth in new and
existing businesses and retail outlets on the
west end, the community continues to better
itself with each year that passes.
