The history of Rock Island County, once known as the afarm implement capital of the world, a starts well before that industry sprung up on the Mississippi River at a point where the river runs east to west. Fur trading, farming, mining, milling, and lumber all played a key role in the countyas formation. As the railroad moved west, the first rail bridge over the Mississippi at Rock Island created a transportation hub and furthered the areaas process of industrialization. This volume of vintage pictures looks at the county from the early 1800s, prior to its creation, through the mid-1960s. It illustrates the rich rural influence of the settlements, villages, and townships; the development of the cities and their industries, businesses, and educational and cultural centers; and how the people who worked the fields and factories made use of and enjoyed their leisure time.
