About East Dubuque

East Dubuque, IL is located along the Mississippi River in Jo Daviess County directly across from Dubuque, IA. Bursting with potential, a thriving economy, and sitting right on the waterfront, this active river community is full of history and fondly known as the Sin City of Illinois (just ask Al Capone).

When most people think of East Dubuque, they envision the downtown “Strip” lined with nightclubs and neighborhood bars. However, the city’s true character lies in the old residential neighborhoods. The city offers charming scenery and beautiful views that far surpass its whisky stills in the hills, speakeasies, and days of old.

Check out Gramercy Park while you take in the majesty of the area—and the Mississippi! The main roads in East Dubuque are U.S. Highway 20 (Wall Street) and Sinsinawa Avenue with the Julien Dubuque Bridge serving as the connection to Dubuque, IA.
