Welcome to Bettendorf, Iowa.
Bettendorf is a city located in Scott County, Iowa. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 31,275.
Bettendorf lies in the area of the original Wisconsin Territory and was purchased from the Sauk and Fox Indians in the Black Hawk War of 1832. The original town on the site was named Lillienthal, after an early tavern and dance hall owner. In January of 1903, the town of 440 residents petitioned for incorporation, requesting the name be changed to Bettendorf, honoring the brothers whose factory was so important to the early development of the city.
Manufactures include transportation equipment, asphalt, pools and spas, and electronic products; there is metal processing. Bettendorf's growth in the late 20th cent. led to its displacing East Moline as one of the Quad Cities; the others are Davenport and Moline and Rock Island, Ill.
Bettendorf is one of the fastest growing communities in Iowa. Its demographic profile reveals an educated community, with an appreciation for school systems that teach people to think and engage in the process of life-long learning. The Bettendorf School District covers most areas of central, northern and western Bettendorf. Elementary students are assigned to one of six elementary schools - Neil Armstrong, Herbert Hoover, Thomas Jefferson, Paul Norton, Mark Twain and Grant Wood. The district also has a middle and high school.
The Pleasant Valley School District encompasses areas of eastern Bettendorf, as well as the outlying communities of Pleasant Valley, Riverdale and Le Claire. Located inside the city limits are two of the district's four elementary schools (Pleasant View and Riverdale Heights), the high school and the administrative center. Junior high students are bussed to Pleasant Valley Junior High School, on the outskirts of Le Claire, while Le Claire elementary students go to either Cody or Bridgeview elementaries.
