Muscatine, County seat in Iowa, United States
The city stretches along the western bank of the Mississippi River, featuring multiple parks, residential neighborhoods, and a commercial downtown district.
In 1839, the settlement changed its name from Bloomington to Muscatine, influenced by the Mascouten Native American tribe who inhabited the area.
The city maintains the Muscatine Art Center, displaying regional artworks, historical artifacts, and offering educational programs to the local community.
