Dubuque
is located in northeast Iowa along the Mississippi River. It is the eighth-largest city in the state with a population of 57,313 residents. The city is situated at the junction of 3 states: Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, in what is commonly known as the Tri-State Area. Dubuque serves as the main cultural, educational, industrial and commercial center for the area. Dubuque is known as the "Key City," because it is Iowas oldest city and played a key role in the early settlement of the state and the Upper Midwest region. Geographically, it is part of the Driftless Area, a portion of North America that escaped all three phases of the Wisconsinian Glaciation. In 2007, Dubuque was recognized as one of the "100 Best Communities for Young People" by the Americas Promise Youth Foundation. Forbes Magazine ranked the city 15th in the "Best Small Places for Business and Careers," and in June, 2008, Dubuque was named "Most Livable Small City" by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Dubuque has several buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Julien Dubuque Bridge, which is also a National Historic Landmark. Dubuques Linwood Cemetery is noted for a number of famous people buried there, and the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens have won a number of awards. There are a number of notable parks in the city especially Eagle Point Park and the Mines of Spain State Recreation Area.

Dubuque Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Northeastern Iowa, along the Mississippi River, has a continental climate with four distinct seasons. However, weather here is often not as extreme as that found in other parts of the Midwest, such as Minnesota or Wisconsin. Spring is usually wet and rainy, summers are sunny and warm, autumn is pleasant and mild, and winters are typically cold and snowy. Average snowfall in this area is 30.7 inches annually. Substantial weather changes frequently occur at three to four day intervals as a result of mid-latitude storm tracks. While situated squarely in the path of Tornado Alley, no devastating tornado has ever touched down in this region of Iowa. However, flooding is often a severe problem along the Mississippi River in eastern Iowa.
