Council Bluffs: Gateway to the West
Council Bluffs sits on the eastern bank of the Missouri River directly across from Omaha, Nebraska. The city has a population of about 62,600 and has historically served as a transportation crossroads. The Union Pacific Railroad established its eastern terminus here in the 1860s, making it the starting point of the first transcontinental railroad. The historic Dodge House and the RailsWest Railroad Museum preserve this heritage.
Casino gambling, legalized in Iowa in the 1990s, transformed the riverfront. Harrah's Council Bluffs and Ameristar Casino are major entertainment draws and significant employers. The city's economy is tightly linked to the Omaha metropolitan area, with many residents commuting across the river.
Lewis and Clark met with Otoe and Missouri tribal leaders near here in 1804, an event that gave the city its name. The Lewis and Clark Monument on a bluff above the river marks the approximate site. Hitchcock Nature Center and the Loess Hills, a rare geological formation, are nearby.
