East Dubuque

East Dubuque lies along the Mississippi River, where the broad river valley meets the rolling limestone hills of northwestern Illinois. Facing Dubuque, Iowa, across the water, it forms part of the Tri-State Area, where Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin converge. The Julien Dubuque Bridge carries U.S. Route 20 across the Mississippi, linking the city directly with its larger neighbour. Known as Dunleith until 1877, East Dubuque developed during the region’s 19th-century lead-mining era. Its riverfront setting and position beside Illinois’ Driftless Area give the city a distinctly Upper Midwest character.
