Answers to the Iowa History Quiz

Correct! Dubuque is Iowa's oldest city, established in 1833. Named for Julien Dubuque, the city was an original Charter City, meaning it was a city before Iowa became a state. Dubuque was also the location of Iowa's first church and the first newspaper published in Iowa, The Dubuque Visitor, which began on May 11, 1836.

Since its conception the city has been under five flags: French, Spanish, English, the Imperial Flag of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the U.S. flag.
