It is a part of the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City region of Eastern Iowa, which includes Linn, Benton, Cedar, Iowa, Jones, Johnson, and Washington counties.^[5]

As of the 2022 United States Census, the city population was 137,710.^{[4] [6]} The estimated population of the three-county Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes the nearby cities of Marion and Hiawatha, was 255,452 in 2008.^[7] Cedar Rapids is an economic hub of the state, located at the core of the Interstate 380 corridor.

Early history [edit]

The location of present-solar day Cedar Rapids was in the territory of the Fox and Sac tribes.

The first white settler on the site of the future urban center was Osgood Shepherd, who built a log cabin (which he called a tavern) in 1837 or 1838 next to the Cedar River (then known as the Crimson Cedar) at what is now the corner of Beginning Avenue and First Street Northeast. Shepherd was a squatter who claimed the country without legal title and too a reputed ne'er-do-well, who, if he was non a horse thief himself, definitely consorted with them. Early on, it appears that he "jumped the claim" of another squatter, Wilbert Stone, who had congenital a motel and platted out a town, some distance south of Shepherd'southward motel, that he called Columbus. Shepherd collection Stone across the river, challenge that Stone had built his cabin on Shepherd'south land, then sold Stone'due south cabin to a buyer named Hull. Shepherd later tried the aforementioned tactic with perhaps the first settler on the west side of the river, Robert Ellis, just Ellis happened to be chopping wood at the fourth dimension and warned that someone would exist dead if Shepherd did not retreat.^[8]

The truthful founders of the city were George Greene, Nicholas Chocolate-brown, and a few others. Brown had experience as a miller and Greene had surveyed much of eastern Iowa,^[nine] so both saw the value of the spot Shepherd had claimed. Information technology was right next to the rapids—a prime number spot to build a manufacturing plant—the terminal set of rapids on the river before the Cedar fed into the Iowa River, meaning that appurtenances milled on the spot could exist carried past boat down river to the Mississippi. In 1841, they formed a partnership that bought out Shepherd'south claim and platted out a town they chosen Rapids City. Dark-brown immediately constructed a primitive dam and then built the town's first mill. His rough dam soon washed away, prompting Greene to induce Alexander Ely, an engineer from Michigan, to build a proper dam that would create a millrace capable of powering several mills.^[ten]

At this time, the city was confined to the east side of the river. The w bank presently contained a hamlet named Kingston for resident David Rex who early on on operated a rope ferry across the river.

The town was formally incorporated by the Iowa State Legislature on January fifteen, 1849^[11] equally Cedar Rapids, named for the rapids in the Cedar River (the river itself was named for the large number of cherry cedar trees that grew along its banks).^[12] The population was less than 400.^[13]

During the 1850s Cedar Rapids grew in size, and it was during this decade that the Czech population became substantial; when the town was reincorporated in 1856, a quarter of its roughly one,600 inhabitants were Czech immigrants.^[xiv] The availability of inexpensive land in the new land of Iowa happened to coincide with the Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire that acquired a large number of Czechs to flee their homeland and emigrate to the U.S. In 1851 was founded the institution that would eventually become Coe Higher. The decade likewise witnessed attempts by local leaders to improve the city'due south access to distant markets, first through purchase of a steamboat (aptly named Cedar Rapids) and ultimately through investment in a railroad. The starting time locomotive rolled into boondocks on June 15, 1859.^[fifteen]

Railroads were an of import factor in the development of the state and the growth of cities along the rail lines. By the end of the 19th century, the 23rd largest state was the fifth largest in rails mileage.^[xvi]

In this aforementioned decade, "Major" John May, an inventor and land speculator, purchased the island (now called "May's Island") situated betwixt Cedar Rapids and Kingston with the intention of founding a town he called May Island. When that scheme proved impractical due to the isle'south tendency to flood, he conceived the idea of making his island the center of a larger city that spanned the river and convinced the land legislature to officially proper noun the country he had bought there, merely s of Kingston, "W Cedar Rapids."^[17]

Cedar Rapids annexed the community of Kingston in 1870 and constructed an iron span across the river forth the line of the current Third Artery span.

The economic growth of Cedar Rapids increased in 1871 upon the founding of the Sinclair meatpacking company. The plant allowed for year-round meatpacking considering water ice could be harvested from the Cedar River in wintertime to arctic an icehouse, and within a few years it became one of the largest factories of its kind in the country, employing 400 people.^[18] In 1873 was congenital the oatmeal mill that would ultimately get the flagship operation of the Quaker Oats Company, and the largest cereal mill in the world.

In 1909 the urban center caused May's Island for the purpose of making it the seat of government; then, as now, there were ill feelings between due east- and west-siders in Cedar Rapids, and the urban center's leaders hoped that putting City Hall in the "neutral territory" of the isle would help ease tensions. In 1919, the residents of Linn County voted to move the county seat from Marion to Cedar Rapids, partially considering Cedar Rapids had offered to donate the southern tertiary of the island as a site for a new county courthouse and jail.

In 2010, the Census Bureau reported Cedar Rapids' population as 87.98% white, and 5.58% black.^[nineteen]

Alluvion of 2008 [edit]

Flooded Business District on June 12, 2008

During the Iowa flood of 2008, the Cedar River reached a record high of 31.12 feet (nine.49 m) on June 13 (the previous record was twenty anxiety (6.1 m)), surpassing the 500-twelvemonth flood plainly. i,126 urban center blocks were flooded, or more than than 10 square miles (26 kmⁱⁱ), and 561 city blocks were severely damaged, on both banks of the Cedar River, comprising 14% of the urban center'southward total area. A total of vii,749 flooded backdrop had to exist evacuated, including 5,900 homes and 310 city facilities, among them the City Hall, Central Fire Station, Main Public Library, Basis Transportation Center, Public Works edifice, and the Creature Control building. It is estimated that at least ane,300 properties in the Cedar Rapids area had to be demolished because of the flood, which acquired several billions of dollars in damages. More iv,000 members of the Iowa National Baby-sit were activated to assist the city. The temporary levees became saturated not merely with the inundation waters but also with additional rainfall, causing them to fail.^{[20] [21]}

Until the alluvion, the urban center's government was headquartered in the Veterans Memorial Edifice, nigh the Linn County Courthouse and jail on Mays Island in the Cedar River, making Cedar Rapids one of a few cities in the earth, along with Paris, France, with governmental offices on a municipal island.^[22]

Inundation of 2016 [edit]

During the inundation of 2016, remnants of Hurricane Paine from the eastern Pacific Bounding main via the Gulf of California caused the second highest recorded crest of the Cedar River in Cedar Rapids, reaching 22 feet (half dozen.7 g) on September 27.^{[23] [24] [25]} The overflowing of southern Minnesota, key and western Wisconsin, and northeastern Iowa past Hurricane Paine's remnants began on September 21 and 22 and connected until the stop of the month.^{[26] [27] [28] [29]} The cresting in Cedar Rapids was beneath the initial estimate of 25 feet (7.vi 1000) and the revised estimate of 23 feet (7.0 m), but more than than 10 feet (3.0 yard) higher up the flood phase of 12 feet (3.seven m).^{[30] [31] [32]} The alluvion was in a higher place levels considered to have about a 1% chance of occurring in a given year.^{[33] [a]} More than than 5,000 homes were affected, causing over 5,000 people to evacuate.^{[33] [21] [34] [35]} The Cedar Rapids Schools were closed for a week.^[36]

In 2015, Cedar Rapids canonical a $625 million flood protection plan over 20 years for levee improvements.^[33] Although the comeback to the levee system in Cedar Rapids had not been completed due to over $80 million in funding not appropriated past the United States Congresses of 2022 and 2022 and the voting down past local residents of a temporary increment in the local sales revenue enhancement to pay for the levee improvements,^[b] out of school students along with hundreds of thousands of volunteers and 412 Iowa National Baby-sit troops filled more than a quarter of a million sandbags in a successful effort to preclude any major flooding of the city outside the evacuation zone.^{[33] [37]} A ix.8-mile (15.8 km) system of Hesco barriers, earthen berms, and over 400,000 sandbags were used to plug the gaps in the levee system.^{[33] [38] [39]} The city of Cedar Rapids purchased additional Hesco barriers from Iowa City for $1.4 1000000.^[40] Numerous upstream cities that had been earlier affected past the September flooding and mandatory evacuations, including Charles City, Greene, Manchester, Clarksville, Shell Rock, Vinton, Janesville, Cedar Falls and Waterloo, sent hundreds of thousands of unused sandbags to support efforts in Cedar Rapids and nearby communities.^{[27] [35]} The remnants of Hurricane Paine did not produce any rain to saturate the temporary globe berms and sandbags, which would accept greatly increased the likelihood of breach in the temporary levee structures, causing a much greater flooded surface area; the river crested during very sunny weather. Additionally, outset on September 25, 300 to 400 National Baby-sit troops along with the Iowa State Patrol, other law enforcement agencies, and 60 duly sworn law enforcement officials enforced a nightly 8pm to 7am curfew.^{[35] [36] [37]}

Baronial 10, 2020, Midwest derecho [edit]

Sustained winds of sixty to eighty miles per hour (97 to 129 km/h), frequent gusts of 110 miles per hour (180 km/h) or greater, and an estimated peak gust of 140 miles per hour (230 km/h) on the southwest side of the city damaged the majority of residential and commercial buildings in Cedar Rapids, also as twenty schools, and resulted in the closure of most local businesses.^[41] Thousands of trees were downed throughout all 75 square miles of Cedar Rapids. Most of the city's roads became mostly blocked or impassible due to downed trees and blown limbs, power poles along with their lines, and general droppings, like large road signs, also as damaged buildings, homes, and farms. 95% of the city was without ability. Trash pickup stopped, cell phone service was very spotty for multiple days, and many gas leaks were reported.^[42] Interstate 380 was closed between Cedar Rapids and Iowa Urban center.^[42]

Hospitals treated over 300 patients for storm related injuries. Professional estimates suggested that cleanup and removal of the city's downed trees could take months. Arborists urged residents non to clear trees on their ain, in order to avoid injury.^{[43] [44] [45] [46]}

On Friday, Baronial xiv, Governor Kim Reynolds arrived in Cedar Rapids, accompanied by Adjutant General Benjamin Corell of the Iowa National Guard. Gen.
