The Quad Cities Weather office was established on May 24, 1871, starting out on the third floor of the First National Bank building at Second and Main Streets in Davenport. The office would move around Davenport several times over the course of the next sixty-five years before relocating across the state line to the Moline airport (now known as Quad Cities International Airport) in October 1936.
