About Carbon Cliff

Carbon Cliff gets its unique name from the coal-rich bluffs along the Rock River, dating back to its roots as a nineteenth-century mining and railroad hub. Today, this small village offers a quiet, relaxed pace right on the edge of the Quad Cities metro. Residents enjoy leafy hillside views and a tight-knit neighborhood feel, all while staying just minutes from shopping, dining, and workplaces in nearby Moline and East Moline.
