The Hamburg Historic District is one of Iowa’s largest historic districts and received national designation as an historic district in 1984. The neighborhood was home to many of Davenport’s early German settlers beginning in the mid-19th century. A portion of the neighborhood is located in Davenport’s Original Town section, within the earliest boundaries established by the city when it was chartered in 1836.
