Downtown Rock Island is the historic hub of commerce and culture in Rock Island, Illinois, the county seat of Rock Island County in the Quad Cities. Its formation of an arts and entertainment district in the 1990s sparked a steady stream of successes, including a reemergence of residential living in historic, mixed-use buildings.
