Credit Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Credit Island is an island in the Mississippi River just south west of Davenport, Iowa. Its name was derived by the use of the island as an early Indian trading post. Credit could be obtained on the promise of hides and skins to be delivered at a later time - hence Credit Island. Today, Credit Island is a community park under the jurisdiction of Davenport Parks and Recreation. It features a golf course, fishing, picnic shelters, a bicycle trail and is the scene of many public events.
