About Moline -
Moline is a city located in Rock Island County, Illinois. As of the 2000 census,
the city had a total population of 43,768.
Moline is one of the Quad Cities, along with neighboring Rock Island and the Iowa
cities of Davenport and Bettendorf. The corporate headquarters of Deere & Company
and the Quad City International Airport are located in Moline, as well as the Quad
Cities campus of Western Illinois University. Moline is a retail hub for the Illinois
Quad Cities, as Southpark Mall and numerous big box stores are located in the city. In
the mid 1990s, a project known as John Deere Commons led to the revitalization of Moline's
central business district.
The name Moline comes from the French Moulin meaning Mill Town.
Due to its historical connections to inventor and industrialist John Deere--who relocated
to Moline in 1848 to mass produce his steel plow there--and the company he founded, Moline
is known as the "farm implement capital of the world." Because of its location on the Mississippi
River and the economies of scale for large-scale farm implement production that quickly developed
around Deere & Company, Moline was a major center for the industry from the late nineteenth century
through the 1980s.
The Quad City Steamwheelers af2 arena football team calls Moline home.
