Credit Island is an island in the Mississippi River on the south west side of Davenport, Iowa within the Quad Cities area.
Its name was derived by the use of the island as an early Indian trading post.
Credit could be obtained on the promise of hides and skins to be delivered at a later time - hence Credit Island.
It was listed on the Davenport Register of Historic Properties February 3, 1999.
