Kingston Village History
The area near what is now known as Mays Island provided an ideal crossing point over the Cedar River, making it a natural location for early settlement. The first settlers arrived in the Cedar Rapids area during the 1830s, and homes and businesses soon developed along both sides of the river. In 1849, the City of Cedar Rapids was incorporated on the east bank, while the neighboring community of Kingston continued to grow independently on the west side.
By the 1860s, interest in uniting the two communities increased, and on April 22, 1870, Kingston was officially annexed into Cedar Rapids and became known as “West Cedar Rapids.” As the city expanded, the former Kingston area evolved into the west side of downtown Cedar Rapids. Growth of the business district followed, highlighted by the construction of the People’s Savings Bank in 1911, designed by renowned architect Louis Sullivan. Today, the building anchors the Third Avenue SW Historic District, a collection of early 20th-century commercial structures that reflect the area’s rich architectural and economic history.
