Moline, IL

Moline is a Mississippi River city in Rock Island County and one of the Quad Cities. Its history is deeply tied to river power, industry, and John Deere, whose presence remains visible at John Deere Commons and the John Deere Pavilion. Black Hawk College adds an educational presence, while the riverfront and bridges connect Moline to Rock Island, Davenport, Bettendorf, and East Moline. It feels like a Midwestern industrial city that has kept its manufacturing identity while building a more visitor-friendly downtown riverfront.
