Rock Island
Rock Island County · United States
Rock Island sits at the confluence of the Rock and Mississippi rivers in Illinois, one of the Quad Cities alongside Moline, East Moline, Davenport, and Bettendorf. Its compact centre carries a heritage-dense streetscape with historic churches, cafés, and restaurants within walking distance of the waterfront. The city is home to Rock Island Arsenal, the largest government-owned weapons manufacturing facility in the United States, occupying what was originally called Rock Island — now known as Arsenal Island.
