Moline 150 Sesquicentennial Celebration

Moline celebrates a noteworthy milestone - the 150th anniversary of its incorporation. From its humble beginnings as a modest frontier settlement to its current status as a thriving City of more than 40,000 in a metro area of around 400,000 Moline has grown and evolved over the past 15 decades.

We will celebrate this history through a week-long Moline 150th Sesquicentennial Celebration.
