After these resources were exhausted, the city became home to numerous different industries.

Although the mining is what the town thrived off of during the settlement Dubuque, it later flourished in the industries of button making, boat building, logging, mill working, meat packing, and other heavy industries. Since then, the community has taken a long-standing in the manufacturing sector and a growing service sector. Modern-day Dubuque is now the major retail, education, medical, and employment center of the tri-state area.
