Facts about Council Bluffs:
Population of Council Bluffs: 58268
Council Bluffs is a city in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 58,268. It is sometimes considered a suburb of Omaha, Nebraska, which is just across the Missouri River. In fact, Council Bluffs is several decades older than the much larger Nebraska city which was actually founded by real estate speculators from Council Bluffs. What is now Council Bluffs was first settled by Billy Caldwell's Pottawatomi during the 1830s after they were removed from what became Chicago. During the mid-1840s the town became known as Kanesville (named for Thomas L. Kane) the main outfitting point for the Mormon emigration to Utah. After the Mormons left in 1852, the town was renamed Council Bluffs. Now home to three casinos — Ameristar Casino Hotel, Horseshoe Casino, and Harrah's Council Bluffs Casino & Hotel — many Nebraskans travel to Council Bluffs for gambling which has helped make the city the most profitable casino market in Iowa. During the middle 19th century, the city was, along with Omaha, one of the major "jumping off" points for the Emigrant Trail. By 1852, over half of the emigrants on the Oregon Trail passed through Council Bluffs. By 1930, the city was the country's fifth largest rail center and the railroads have had a lasting impact on the community and its culture.
