What is University Heights, and how did it come into being? Football fans have long interacted with it by parking on its residential lawns and walking to Kinnick Stadium. Unless one ventures off the main streets into the more hidden portions of University Heights, most of it is unseen.

were even manufactured here. This presentation will
explore the history of the stagecoach with a focus on
Iowa City.
