East Moline sits right where Illinois meets the mighty Mississippi, putting you at the heart of the Quad Cities without the downtown hustle. Illiniwek Campground and Fawks Bald Eagle Refuge stretch along the northern riverfront, offering trails and open skies just minutes from home. When you're ready for more action, Moline, Rock Island, Davenport, and Bettendorf are all within easy reach, giving you access to an expanded spread of dining, shopping, and live entertainment on any given evening.
John Deere's riverfront presence has long shaped this community, and the city carries that hardworking spirit into its everyday rhythm.

Incorporated in April 1907, East Moline has built a steady identity over more than a century as one of the five cities that together form the greater Quad Cities region.
