Government

DeWitt City Hall

DeWitt is governed by a mayor and five-member council. The mayor is Steve Hasenmiller.[13]

Railroads

DeWitt is served by the Union Pacific along the south side on tracks originally built by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. Until 1971, the Milwaukee Road entered DeWitt from the north and ran along 7th Avenue before crossing the tracks of the former Chicago & Northwestern into Scott County. The tracks between DeWitt and Eldridge Junction were abandoned in 1931.[14] The Milwaukee Road rail between Maquoketa and DeWitt was abandoned by 1970. Several buildings along 7th Avenue still show signs of former rail loading and unloading uses. These include a former paper box factory (now apartments) at the northwest corner of 7th Avenue and 7th Street as well as various sheds and elevator buildings between 5th and 7th Streets. What had served as the Chicago & Northwestern's Depot was destroyed by fire circa 1969 and never rebuilt. The depot for the Milwaukee Road's Depot was at the northeast corner of 7th Avenue and 7th Street. It was converted into commercial use, but has since been demolished.

Area highways

DeWitt is served by U.S. Highways 30 & 61. At one time the highways met at the northwest corner of the City Park to the north of the city center business district. By 1980 both highways were moved to new alignments around the south and west sides of DeWitt, first suggested in a plan from the early 1960s.

Education

DeWitt is home to the Central DeWitt Community School District. In addition to DeWitt, the nearby cities of Grand Mound, Low Moor, and Welton are also a part the school district.[15] It was previously known as the Central Clinton Community School District until July 1, 2014.[16]

St. Joseph Catholic Church operates a K-8 school. The Junior and High School portions was closed in the 1960s. The mascot for St. Joseph School is the Eagle.

Frances Banta Waggoner Community Library is the local community library.[17]

Media

The DeWitt Observer serves as DeWitt's primary local newspaper. In addition to DeWitt, The Observer also serves much of rural eastern Clinton County.[18]
