LeClaire stands apart from the surrounding area
While the name translates from the French for “the light,” LeClaire is no winking glimmer. “It’s close enough to a bigger town but far enough away to have our own identity,” says LeClaire Community Library director Melita Tunnicliff. This little piece of Iowa is nestled along the Mississippi River and home to unique small businesses, a strong community and a rich local history. “LeClaire was a riverboat pilot town," Tunnicliff says. All the boats had to stop here and find a pilot to guide them through the rapids. They would go down on shore by the big green elm tree and wait for a boat to pull over. That tree was called the ‘Green Tree Hotel.'"

It's a great little town on the river. Nice and secluded from the busier metro Quad Cities, while also being within a 5 min drive from everything that the Quad Cities has to offer. Overall, it's a great place to live and grow a family.

Excellent. The down town is beautiful. Lots of fun shops and restaurants. Baseball fields and a rec center are open to the public. Has some parks and a skate park. However, there needs to be more sidewalks in the city so children and families can be safe while riding their bikes or walking around the neighborhood.

It is an embarrassment that they have speed traps in the highway. Got a ticket for doing 75mph just like everyone else was. People should be ashamed of what they allow. Do not come here.
