Camanche (/kəˈmæntʃ/) is a city in Clinton County, Iowa, United States, on the Mississippi River. The population was 4,570 at the time of the 2020 census.
A post office has been in operation in Camanche since 1837. The community was named after the Comanche Native American tribe.
On Sunday, June 3, 1860, an F4 tornado struck Camanche. Few buildings were left standing, and all structures were badly damaged. The storm moved at 50 mph. The lack of an organized way to report weather events left people living along the Mississippi River vulnerable. A raft carrying 26 men was hit outside Camanche, and only three on board survived. St Paul’s Lutheran Church which was one of the four original member congregations of the Davenport Evangelical Free Lutheran Synod was also destroyed by the tornado and not rebuilt. The tornado killed a total of 92 people, including at least 41 in Camanche. The outbreak as a whole killed more than 140 people in just a few hours and injured over 300.
