Discover Kingston Village (West Side Cedar Rapids)
Kingston Village represents Cedar Rapids' historic west side, where early settlers David and Mary King operated a ferry across the Cedar River in the 1840s and platted the town of Kingston in 1852. After the devastating 2008 flood, preservationists revived the neighborhood's name and restored historic buildings like the 1911 Peoples Bank building, now home to Popoli's Restaurant. The Tupy Show has extensively covered the major $81.5 million Kingston Yard development bringing Big Grove Brewery, Pickle Palace with pickleball courts and duckpin bowling, apartments, a hotel and parking ramp. First tenants opened in 2024 with final completion expected by 2026. We also follow the proposed $275 million casino awaiting approval in February 2025, making Kingston Village a focal point of Cedar Rapids' urban revitalization.
