Dubuque Photo Page Dubuque is a city of around 57,000 people, with a metro population of 90,000. Located in scenic bluffs along the Mississippi River in far eastern Iowa, Dubuque is one of the most storied and historic cities in the state. Since its conception, Dubuque has been under control of five different flags and was finally incorporated as a city in 1833. An abundance of nearby lead mines and being a port city on the Mississippi brought it prosperity and wealth. Recently, Dubuque has been undergoing an amazing renaissance and with the large America's River Project gaining national acclaim and its downtown being revitalized. Tourism is quickly becoming an industry of major importance in this hilly, aged river city. Dubuque is filled with scenic bluffs, historic neighborhoods, classic architecture and plenty of gritty industrial areas made entirely out of brick. Definitely an interesting place to explore.
