In 2008, ''[[Forbes Magazine]]'' named Iowa City the second Best Small [[Metropolitan Area]] for doing business in the [[United States]].<ref>[http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/5/bestplaces08_Iowa-City-IA_2687.html #2 Iowa City IA - Forbes.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ==History== Iowa City was created by an act of Legislative Assembly of the Iowa Territory on [[January 21]], [[1839]], fulfilling the desire of Governor [[Robert Lucas]] to move the capital out of [[Burlington, Iowa|Burlington]] and closer to the center of the territory. The act began, <blockquote> "An Act to locate the Seat of Government of the Territory of Iowa...so soon as the place shall be selected, and the consent of the United States obtained, the commissioners shall proceed to lay out a town to be called "Iowa City". <ref>Benjamin F. Shambaugh (1893) ''Iowa City: A Contribution to the Early History of Iowa'' State Historical Society of Iowa p17-36.</ref> </blockquote> [[Image:Iowa City circa 1868.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A bird's-eye view map of Iowa City circa 1868.]] Commissioners Chauncey Swan and John Ronalds met on May 1 in the small settlement of Napoleon, south of present-day Iowa City, to select a site for the new capital city. The following day the commissioners selected a site on bluffs above the [[Iowa River]] north of Napoleon, placed a stake in the center of the proposed site and began planning the new capital city. Commissioner Swan, in a report to the legislature in Burlington, described the site: <blockquote>"Iowa City is located on a section of land laying in the form of an amphitheater. There is an eminence on the west near the river, running parallel with it." <ref>Gerald Manshiem (1989) ''Iowa City: An Illustrated History'' The Donning Co, Publishers p 25.</ref> </blockquote> By June of that year, the town had been platted and surveyed from Brown St. in the north to Burlington St. in the south, and from the Iowa River eastward to Governor St. While Iowa City was selected as the territorial capital in [[1839]], it did not officially become the capital city until 1841; after construction on the capitol building had begun. The capitol building was completed in 1842, and the last four territorial legislatures and the first six [[Iowa General Assembly|Iowa General Assemblies]] met there until [[1876]], when the state capital was moved to [[Des Moines, Iowa|Des Moines]]. <ref>{{cite web|title = Iowa Old Capitol|accessdate = August 12|accessyear = 2008|url = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_Old_Capitol_Building}}</ref> ===2006 tornado=== {{main|Easter Week 2006 Tornado Outbreak Sequence}} <!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:April06 tornado damage.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Damaged homes along Iowa Avenue]] --> On the evening of [[April 13]], [[2006]], a confirmed EF2 [[tornado]] struck Iowa City, causing severe property damage and displacing many from their homes, including many [[University of Iowa]] students. It was the first tornado ever recorded to hit the city directly. No serious injuries were reported in the Iowa City area, but one person in rural [[Muscatine County, Iowa|Muscatine County]] died in a related storm. [http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060414/NEWS08/604140396/1001&lead=1] A popular [[Dairy Queen]] [http://www.rosegallery.net/dow/pop_up/popUp2.jpg] which had been in business for 54 years was a victim of the storm (but was reopened in late September), along with two large car dealerships, and several other businesses along Riverside Drive and Iowa Highway 1. The 134-year-old [[Saint Patrick's Church (Iowa City)|Saint Patrick's Catholic Church]] was heavily damaged only minutes after Holy Thursday Mass, with most of its roof destroyed. The building was ruled a total loss and has since been demolished. The downtown business district as well as the eastern residential area and several parks suffered scattered damage of varying degree. Additionally, several houses in the sorority row area were destroyed. The [[Alpha Chi Omega]] house was nearly destroyed, though no one was injured and the building was later razed. Cleanup efforts were under way almost immediately as local law enforcement, volunteer workers from all over the state, and Iowa City residents and college students worked together to restore the city. The total cost of damage was estimated at around $12 million.{{Fact|date=June 2008}} Photos and other visual media recorded of the storm can be viewed [http://www.billhamel.net/ 4/13/06 Iowa City Tornado Photos]. ===2008 Flood=== {{main|Great Iowa Flood of 2008}} [[Image:North riverside drive.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The University of Iowa Museum of Modern Art on North Riverside Drive during the height of the flood.]] A local newspaper reported on June 11, 2008, that water exceeded the emergency spillway at the [[Coralville Reservoir]] outside of Iowa City. <ref>[http://www.press-citizen.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080612/NEWS01/80612005/1001/NEWS River, reservoir continue to rise; No end in sight | press-citizen.com | Iowa City Press Citizen<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> As a result, the City of Iowa City and the University of Iowa were seriously affected by unprecedented flooding of the Iowa River, which caused widespread property damage and forced [[emergency evacuation|evacuations]] in large sections of the city. By Friday, June 13, 2008, the Iowa River had risen to a record level of 30.46 ft. (5:00 PM CST) with a crest of approximately 33 ft. predicted for Wednesday, June 18, 2008. Much of the city’s 500-year flood plain saw mild to catastrophic effects of the rapidly flowing, polluted water. Officials at the University of Iowa reported that up to 19 buildings were affected by rising waters. Extensive efforts to move materials from the University’s main library were undertaken as large groups of sandbagging volunteers began to construct a massive [[levee]] near the building. Approximately $300 million worth of art, including work by [[Picasso]], owned by the University was secretly moved to a holding place in the [[Chicago]] area before the fine arts area was heavily hit with flood water. On Friday, June 13, University employees were encouraged to stay home, and travel was strongly discouraged in Iowa City; one city statement advised, "If you live in east Iowa City, stay in east Iowa City; if you live in west Iowa City, stay in west Iowa City." The Burlington St. bridge was the only bridge that remained open, other than the [[I-80]] bridge on the edge of town, to connect the east and west sides of the [[Iowa River]]. On Saturday, June 14, officials at the University of Iowa began to power down the University's primary power generating plant along the Iowa River to prevent structural damage. Backup units continued to provide necessary power and steam services for essential University services, including the [[University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics]]. Water began touching the bottom of the Park St. bridge forcing the Army Corp. of Engineers to drill several holes in the bridge to allow air trapped underneath to escape. Also on Saturday, Mayor Regenia Bailey issued a curfew restricting anyone except those authorized by law enforcement from being within 100 yards of any area affected by the flood between 8:30 PM and 6 AM. == Geography and climate== Iowa City is located at {{coord|41|39|21|N|91|31|30|W|city}} (41.655816, -91.524991){{GR|1}}, along the [[Iowa River]].

The act began, <blockquote> "An Act to locate the Seat of Government of the Territory of Iowa...so soon as the place shall be selected, and the consent of the United States obtained, the commissioners shall proceed to lay out a town to be called "Iowa City". <ref>Benjamin F.

The following day the commissioners selected a site on bluffs above the [[Iowa River]] north of Napoleon, placed a stake in the center of the proposed site and began planning the new capital city. Commissioner Swan, in a report to the legislature in Burlington, described the site: <blockquote>"Iowa City is located on a section of land laying in the form of an amphitheater. There is an eminence on the west near the river, running parallel with it." <ref>Gerald Manshiem (1989) ''Iowa City: An Illustrated History'' The Donning Co, Publishers p 25.</ref> </blockquote> By June of that year, the town had been platted and surveyed from Brown St. in the north to Burlington St. in the south, and from the Iowa River eastward to Governor St. While Iowa City was selected as the territorial capital in [[1839]], it did not officially become the capital city until 1841; after construction on the capitol building had begun. The capitol building was completed in 1842, and the last four territorial legislatures and the first six [[Iowa General Assembly|Iowa General Assemblies]] met there until [[1876]], when the state capital was moved to [[Des Moines, Iowa|Des Moines]]. <ref>{{cite web|title = Iowa Old Capitol|accessdate = August 12|accessyear = 2008|url = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_Old_Capitol_Building}}</ref> ===2006 tornado=== {{main|Easter Week 2006 Tornado Outbreak Sequence}} <!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:April06 tornado damage.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Damaged homes along Iowa Avenue]] --> On the evening of [[April 13]], [[2006]], a confirmed EF2 [[tornado]] struck Iowa City, causing severe property damage and displacing many from their homes, including many [[University of Iowa]] students.

The total cost of damage was estimated at around $12 million.{{Fact|date=June 2008}} Photos and other visual media recorded of the storm can be viewed [http://www.billhamel.net/ 4/13/06 Iowa City Tornado Photos]. ===2008 Flood=== {{main|Great Iowa Flood of 2008}} [[Image:North riverside drive.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The University of Iowa Museum of Modern Art on North Riverside Drive during the height of the flood.]] A local newspaper reported on June 11, 2008, that water exceeded the emergency spillway at the [[Coralville Reservoir]] outside of Iowa City. <ref>[http://www.press-citizen.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080612/NEWS01/80612005/1001/NEWS River, reservoir continue to rise; No end in sight | press-citizen.com | Iowa City Press Citizen<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> As a result, the City of Iowa City and the University of Iowa were seriously affected by unprecedented flooding of the Iowa River, which caused widespread property damage and forced [[emergency evacuation|evacuations]] in large sections of the city. By Friday, June 13, 2008, the Iowa River had risen to a record level of 30.46 ft. (5:00 PM CST) with a crest of approximately 33 ft. predicted for Wednesday, June 18, 2008. Much of the city’s 500-year flood plain saw mild to catastrophic effects of the rapidly flowing, polluted water. Officials at the University of Iowa reported that up to 19 buildings were affected by rising waters. Extensive efforts to move materials from the University’s main library were undertaken as large groups of sandbagging volunteers began to construct a massive [[levee]] near the building. Approximately $300 million worth of art, including work by [[Picasso]], owned by the University was secretly moved to a holding place in the [[Chicago]] area before the fine arts area was heavily hit with flood water. On Friday, June 13, University employees were encouraged to stay home, and travel was strongly discouraged in Iowa City; one city statement advised, "If you live in east Iowa City, stay in east Iowa City; if you live in west Iowa City, stay in west Iowa City." The Burlington St. bridge was the only bridge that remained open, other than the [[I-80]] bridge on the edge of town, to connect the east and west sides of the [[Iowa River]]. On Saturday, June 14, officials at the University of Iowa began to power down the University's primary power generating plant along the Iowa River to prevent structural damage. Backup units continued to provide necessary power and steam services for essential University services, including the [[University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics]]. Water began touching the bottom of the Park St. bridge forcing the Army Corp. of Engineers to drill several holes in the bridge to allow air trapped underneath to escape. Also on Saturday, Mayor Regenia Bailey issued a curfew restricting anyone except those authorized by law enforcement from being within 100 yards of any area affected by the flood between 8:30 PM and 6 AM. == Geography and climate== Iowa City is located at {{coord|41|39|21|N|91|31|30|W|city}} (41.655816, -91.524991){{GR|1}}, along the [[Iowa River]].
