O knihe
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Quad Cities is a geographic region of the Mid-Mississippi Valley of the United States that includes several communities in the states of Iowa and Illinois. As of 2008, the population is 377,625. Before World War I, the area was known as the 'Tri-Cities', and included only Davenport, Rock Island, and Moline. With the growth of Rock Island County, East Moline was eventually given 'equal status,' and the region became known as the 'Quad Cities' during the 1930s. With the opening of an Alcoa plant in 1948, Bettendorf grew such that many people in the community openly discussed the adoption of the name 'Quint Cities'. Indeed, WOC-TV (as KWQC-TV was then called) did much 'Quint Cities' promotion in the early-to-mid-1950s. However, by this time, the name 'Quad Cities' had become known well beyond the area, and 'Quint Cities' never caught on. Eventually Bettendorf passed East Moline in size. The 'Quad Cities' name is now technically a misnomer, as the area includes five cities, each with a population of over 20,000 and many other contiguous or nearby communities.`
