Keokuk

The Mississippi River defines the setting of Keokuk — its broad channel and the Lock and Dam No. 19 complex have long shaped local transport and power generation. Set at Iowa’s southeastern tip, the city faces Illinois across the river and stands close to the Missouri border, giving it a distinctly tri-state context. Keokuk takes its name from Keokuk, a prominent Sauk leader of the nineteenth century. The Keokuk National Cemetery and the Grand Theatre reflect parts of its civic past, while the riverfront remains central to the city’s identity.
