Driving Around Small Town Keokuk, IA in 4k Video

Filmed on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, I drive around the village Keokuk, Iowa to see what's going on.

Keokuk is a city in and a county seat of Lee County, Iowa, United States. It is Iowa's southernmost city. The population was 9,900 at the time of the 2020 census.

The city is named after the Sauk chief Keokuk, who is thought to be buried in Rand Park. It is in the extreme southeast corner of Iowa, where the Des Moines River meets the Mississippi. Just across the rivers are the towns of Hamilton and Warsaw, Illinois, and Alexandria, Missouri. Keokuk, along with the city of Fort Madison, is a principal city of the Fort Madison-Keokuk micropolitan area, which includes all of Lee County, Iowa, Hancock County, Illinois and Clark County, Missouri.

Situated between the Des Moines and Mississippi rivers, the area that became Keokuk had access to a large trading area and was an ideal location for settlers. In 1820, the US Army prohibited soldiers stationed along the Mississippi River from having wives who were Native American. Dr. Samuel C. Muir, a surgeon stationed at Fort Edwards (near present-day Warsaw, Illinois), resigned his commission rather than leave his Indian wife and crossed the river to resettle. He built a log cabin for them at the bottom of the bluff, and became the area's first white settler.

As steamboat traffic on the Mississippi increased, more European Americans began to settle here. Around 1827, John Jacob Astor established a post of his American Fur Company at the foot of the bluff. Five buildings were erected to house workers and the business. This area became known as the Rat Row.

One of the earliest descriptions of Keokuk was by Caleb Atwater in 1829:

The village is a small one containing twenty families perhaps. The American Fur Company have a store here and there is a tavern. Many Indians were fishing and their lights on the rapids in a dark night were darting about appearing and disappearing like so many fire flies; the constant roaring of the waters, on the rapids the occasional Indian yell, the lights of their fires on the shore, and the boisterous mirth of the people at the doggery attracted my attention occasionally while we were lying here. Fish were caught here in abundance.

The settlement was part of the land designated in 1824 as a Half-Breed Tract by the United States Government for allotting land to mixed-race descendants of the Sauk and Fox tribes. Typically children of European or British men (fur traders and trappers) and Native women, they were often excluded from tribal communal lands because their fathers were not tribal members. Native Americans considered the settlement a neutral ground. Rules for the tract prohibited individual sale of the land, but the US Congress ended this provision in 1837, creating a land rush and instability.

Centering on the riverboat trade, the settlement continued to grow. The village became known as Keokuk shortly after the Blackhawk War in 1832. Why residents named it after the Sauk chief is unknown. Keokuk was incorporated on December 13, 1847.

Keokuk was the longtime home of Orion Clemens, brother of Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain. Samuel's visits to his brother's home led him to write of the beauty of Keokuk and southeastern Iowa in Life on the Mississippi.

At one time, because of its position at the foot of the lower rapids of the Mississippi, Keokuk was known as the Gate City. During the American Civil War, Keokuk became an embarking point for Union troops heading to fight in southern battles. Injured soldiers were returned to Keokuk for treatment, so several hospitals were established. A national cemetery was designated for those who did not survive. After the war was over, Keokuk continued its expansion. A medical college was founded, along with a major-league baseball team, the Keokuk Westerns, in 1875.

The Mississippi River lock and dam along with the hydroelectric power plant, owned and operated by Ameren Missouri, were built in 1913. They still use most of the original equipment. When the plant began operation in August 1913, it was the largest single powerhouse electric generating plant in the world.

Keokuk is mentioned among funny place names by Krusty the Clown in The Simpsons sixth-season episode Homie the Clown.

As of the census of 2000, there were 11,427 people, 4,773 households, and 3,021 families residing in the city.


The racial makeup of the city was 92.87% White, 3.90% African American, 0.27% Native American, 0.52% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.45% from other races, and 1.99% from two or more races. 1.09% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

11.9% of the population and 8.1% of families were below the poverty line. Out of the total population, 15.7% of those under the age of 18 and 13.4% of those 65 and older were living below the poverty line. #driving #travel #drivingtour

Where in Iowa is Jeff?...The Sequel

Penn Central Mall, Oskaloosa, IA 7/7/14

During a trip to Des Moines, I stopped in Oskaloosa, IA to take a look in the Penn Central mall, which I've only been in a couple times. It was built in 1985, and is Oskaloosa's second, and only surviving, shopping mall (the smaller Atpic Mall closed in the early 1990's). The mall itself is in great shape, and is a very interesting, but small, design. Unfortunately, very few stores remain. The only 'real' anchor store left is JCPenney. Hy-Vee occupies the spot where K-Mart once was years ago. The mall also used to have a McGregor's furniture store in the JCPenney wing, plus a hobby shop, Bath & Body Works, Stage salon, and others, all of which are now gone. But for what it is, there's still some good stuff here. This is probably one of the few malls in the country that has its own model railroad club, located in one of the old stores. There's also a Pizza Ranch restaurant at one end, which connects to Oskaloosa's old downtown buildings.

Knoxville, IA | A 4K City Walking Tour

Knoxville is located in south-central Iowa, about 35 miles southeast of Des Moines. The area was originally inhabited by Native Americans of the Sac and Fox tribes. At that time, prairie grass covered the countryside at heights of 8 to 10 feet. In 1835, Dragoons first explored the Des Moines River valley through this area. In 1842, the Sac and Fox Indians signed a treaty to sell lands in central Iowa to the new settlers known as the New Purchase of 1842. By 1843, settlers began moving here. The first Marion County Courthouse was erected three years later. Knoxville is home of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum, located next to the famous Knoxville Raceway dirt track.

Mathias Ham House | Historic Buildings of Iowa

In 1833, when settlers were allowed to cross the Mississippi into Iowa, Mathias Ham became one of Dubuque's first residents. At his wife's request, who quickly grew tired of log cabin living, he spent the next 20 years building a beautiful estate. Today the Ham home is a monument to its time period and is open to visitors to learn about Dubuque when it was in its infancy.
