Blue Grass Iowa - Best Local Moving Company

Blue Grass, IA is a friendly Iowa farming community located on Highway 61 approximately ten miles southwest of Davenport, in the southwest corner of Scott County. Originally platted in 1853 with an approximate population of 100, it has grown to a comfortable community of 1,200 plus, with an increase expected from the Census 2000.

The site of Blue Grass was originally on an Indian trail between the Mississippi River and the Cedar River.

This area was the Indians’ choice for their camping site, and over the years as they and their ponies trampled the taller grass, they noticed that the newer grass which sprouted up had a bluish tint (similar to Kentucky blue grass).

This area became known as Blue Grass Point. Settlers began arriving in this area around 1836 and soon built log cabins and farmed the rich soil, which sold for about $1.25 an acre. Some of the earlier settlers were: in 1836 – Abel Sprague, Andrew W. Campbell, James Grant and William Lingo; in 1837 – Joseph Wallack, Samuel Lettle, Frank Lettle and Henry Gabbert; in 1838 – John F. Fry, Robert Wilson, Peter Wilson, Ben Johnson and John Henry Schuett; in 1839 – Rufus Catlin, Joseph Mounts, Robert Humphry, Henry Lewis, Theodore Hartwell, George Metteer and Charles Metteer.

Blue Grass has 3 churches in the city and one elementary school with five community parks.
