Davenport, Iowa

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Davenport is a city located in the U.S. state of Iowa. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 98,359. The city borders the Mississippi River. Every year the Mississippi river rises, and sometimes overflows its banks in a flood, causing millions of dollars in property damage in Davenport. Davenport is the only city over 20,000 people bordering the Mississippi that has no permanent floodwall or levee. The United States Army Corps of Engineers has continually expressed frustration at the fact that Davenport refuses to build a permanent flood-protection system like literally every other significant city on the entire Mississippi. Davenport prefers the open access to the river for parks and vistas over having access cut off by dikes and levees. Davenport is also the home of a large and well-known Blues festival, as well as a jazz festival dedicated to Davenport native Bix Beiderbecke. There is also an internationally known marathon dedicated to him called the Bix. Saint Ambrose University is also located in Davenport. Buffalo Bill Cody was a native of Davenport.
