Bettendorf Halal Travel Guide

The territory that now encompasses Bettendorf was opened to white settlement following the Black Hawk Purchase of 1832. The first European-American settlers established a village which they called Lillienthal, after an early tavern and dance hall. The village of Gilbert developed alongside Lillienthal in 1858, honoring Elias Gilbert, who platted the original site. At that time and the residents were predominantly (German) immigrants and worked as farmers, skilled laborers and small business owners. The two villages eventually combined to become the town of Gilbert. The town gave William and Joseph Bettendorf 70 acres along the riverfront on the condition that they move their iron wagon business from Davenport to Gilbert. In 1903 the town petitioned for incorporation and requested that its name change to honor the brothers whose factory was a major economic influence in the early development of the city. The first modern-day riverboat casinos in the United States were launched in Bettendorf on April 1, 1991 by local businessman Bernard Goldstein. He went on to found the Isle of Capri Casinos. According to the 2020 census Bettendorf is home to 33,217.

How to get around in Bettendorf

How to travel to Bettendorf by car

Bettendorf is generally an easy city to navigate, but it has a couple of quirks. The city streets are basically laid out in a grid pattern, especially in the older part of town. Some of the newer residential sections of the city do not follow a grid, however. For the most part, east-west streets are named and the north-south streets are numbered starting at the border with Davenport. There are a couple of exceptions. Devils Glen Road is a north-south Street on the east side of town and 53rd Avenue is an east west street on the north side that connects with 53rd Street in Davenport. Middle Road is a major thoroughfare through the middle of town as the name suggests. However, it defies the grid pattern as it travels northeast from Locust Street in Davenport before it heads north to I-80. Addresses on east-west streets are numbered from the west at the border with Davenport and on north-south streets from Mississippi River toward Interstate 80.

The Quad Cities has a ng-system/ wayfinding color code system for signs that direct people to various venues and attractions in the area. The area is divided into quadrants with their own colors and identifying headers on direction signs have the appropriate color for each quadrant so that travelers know, by color, which quadrant you are in and to which color you will have to travel to reach other attractions. Bettendorf is in the northeast quadrant and its attractions are on signs that use the yellow color in the header. The northwest quadrant (Davenport) is green and the southeast quadrant (Moline-East Moline) is blue and the southwest quadrant (Rock Island) is red.
