“One of a Kind” — The Maquoketa, IA Area Community

“The quality of life discovered in Maquoketa is truly One of a Kind.” — the Maquoketa Chamber.

Established as “Springfield” in 1838, Maquoketa was later renamed after the Maquoketa River in 1844. The river’s name derives from Maquaw-Autaw, which means “Bear River” in Meskwaki. This kind and welcoming community is located in eastern Iowa and is dedicated to continually investing in itself. From new trail ways to the community’s school district, and of course, in innovative medical services anchored by the Jackson County Regional Health Center. This midwestern paradise is the perfect place to call home—and with Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors, we can help you do just that.
