About this city
Walcott is a progressive, economically vibrant prairie city positioned flatly along the bustling Interstate 80 corridor in Scott County, tightly integrated into the outer western rim of the Quad Cities metropolitan area. Formed meticulously in 1854 as a crucial railroad hub during the construction of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, the town has proudly maintained its heritage as a logistics giant. Today, Walcott has achieved legendary global cultural fame as home to the single largest, most architecturally sprawling highway truckstop on Earth.
